Love a Girl Right Lyrics
Oh, that boy so scandalous
Yeah, he broke my girl's heart
And he was on to the next
He was cheating on the low, in the club all night
Never seen my girl so messed up, yeah (Yeah)
Out with his boys in the hip-hop spots
She all alone wondering if he's comin' home or not
For the whole damn year, I was wiping up her tears
He was livin' la vida loca
[Pre-Chorus: Jesy]
You know I'll be watching you
'Cause she the baddest thing to ever happen to ya
And that's the truth
Don't make me have to hurt ya
'Cause I know right now we're cool
But if I ever hear you mess this up
I'm comin' after you
[Chorus: Perrie & All]
So don't you treat her wrong
Yeah, you better love a girl right, baby
'Cause you 'bout to lose her love
Said I, yeah, you better love a girl right
Oh, right, yeah
'Cause you 'bout to lose her love, yeah
Dan-da-ran, dan-dan
Dan-da-ran, dan-dan
Dan-da-ran, dan-dan
You better love a girl right
[Verse 2: Leigh-Anne]
I'll be there for my girl always
She mean the whole world to me
All she want is your loyalty, yeah (Oh, no, no)
She want better, she don't want another, 'nother mistake
You better not risk it
'Cause in my eyes, all I'm seeing is a queen
If you do her wrong, best believe
She'll be livin' la vida loca
[Pre-Chorus: Jade & (All)]
You know I'll be watching you (Ayy, ayy)
'Cause she's the baddest thing to ever happen to ya
And that's the truth
Don't make me have to hurt ya
'Cause I know right now we're cool (Right now we're cool)
But if I ever hear you mess this up
I'm comin' after you
[Chorus: Perrie & All]
So don't you treat her wrong
Yeah, you better love a girl right, baby
'Cause you 'bout to lose her love
Said I, yeah, you better love a girl right
Alright, yeah
'Cause you 'bout to lose her love
Oh, oh, love her right
Oh, oh, she'll be gone tonight
Oh, oh, I don't wanna fight
One more chance, gimme one more try?
Dan-da-ran, dan-dan (Hey, yeah)
Dan-da-ran, dan-dan (No, oh-woah)
Dan-da-ran, dan-dan (Eh, you, oh-woah)
[Chorus: Perrie & (All)]
So don't you treat her wrong (Dan-da-ran, dan-dan)
Yeah, you better love a girl right, baby (Dan-da-ran, dan-dan, ayy, ayy)
'Cause you 'bout to lose her love (Dan-da-ran, dan-dan)
Said I, yeah, you better love a girl right
Oh, right, yeah
'Cause you 'bout to lose her love
[Outro: All, (Perrie) & Jade]
Dan-da-ran, dan-dan (You better love her, no, no, no)
Dan-da-ran, dan-dan (You better love her, no, no, no)
Dan-da-ran, dan-dan (Better love her right, no, no, no)
No, no, no

We loved the idea of turning an iconic ‘men’s’ song about feeling a girl, into a woman’s empowering anthem about treating a girl right

Via Instagram, on now deleted highlight “making #LM5”, Jade Thirlwall posted some never seen before pictures and videos of the days they recorded “Love a Girl Right” and said this:
It was written the same day as “Strip”. We had tried Leigh’s concept in a few different sessions and finally found the right way of doing it when we were all together. We loved the idea of turning an iconic “man’s” song about feeling a girl into a woman’s empowering anthem about treating a girl right. ‘Cause girls, we’ve all been there where we gotta let our friend’s new fella know he better treat her how she deserves or there’ll be hell to pay. Brought a guitarrist into the session to do the chorus, as originally the sample would just be guitar, but we ended up writing over the Thong Song melody too.
Well, we were drunk. But we were really pumped, because we always wanted to write a song that’s a message to our boyfriends: Treat my girl right otherwise I’m coming for you! We twisted the [original] song from being about women in thongs to a positive girl-power anthem, so we’re proud of that.
