Speak to a Girl written by Blake Anthony Carter / Dave Gibson / Joseph Spargur
Lyrics
"She don't give a damn 'bout your Benjamin Franklin's, she wants Aretha
She don't really care how you're spending your money, it's all how you treat her
She just want a friend to be there when she opens her eyes in the morning
She wants you to say what you mean and mean everything that you're saying
'Cause that's how you talk to a woman, that's how you speak to a girl
That's how you get with the lady who's worth more than anything in your whole world
You better respect your Mama, respect the hell out of her
'Cause that's how you talk to a woman and that's how you speak to a girl
She don't give a damn 'bout your pride or the lies that you're hiding behind
She just wanna feel that you're real, that she's near to the man that's inside
She don't need to hear she's a queen on a throne, that she's more than amazing
She just wants you to say what you mean and to mean everything that you're saying
'Cause that's how you talk to a woman, that's how you speak to a girl
That's how you get with a lady who's worth more than anything in your whole world
You better respect your mama, respect the hell out of her
'Cause that's how you talk to a woman, that's how you speak to a girl
That's how you speak to, speak to her
That's how you speak to, speak to her
'Cause that's how you talk to a woman, that's how you speak to a girl
That's how you get with a lady who's worth more than anything in your whole world
You better respect your mama, respect the hell out of her
'Cause that's how you talk to a woman and that's how you speak to a girl
That's how you talk to a woman, that's how you speak to a girl"

Song background
"Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at the story behind their new single, "Speak to a Girl."
Speaking as a father of three daughters and brother to two sisters, McGraw says the song is a personal one. "The message of the song is just so profound. It just meant a lot to both of us I think about what it said," he shares. "And the day and age that we live in, sometimes in all the noise, how you speak to someone person-to-person and face-to-face gets lost."

Wife and duet partner Hill agrees, adding that the track is all about how people interact. "It's really about how we communicate period in general as human beings. We just have to speak the truth, it's as simple as that, you either lie or you speak the truth," she says.

But for Hill, the song also features another layer, one that explores what it means to be honest while also respecting women with lyrics like, "She don't really care how you're spending your money / It's all how you treat her / She just wants a friend to be there when she opens her eyes in the morning / She wants you to say what you mean and mean everything that you're saying."

"It's important that we be honest with one another as people," the singer says. "I think one of the greatest gifts a father can give his daughter or daughters is a lesson in how he speaks to their mom."

McGraw also sees multilayers to the song, saying that "Speak to a Girl" — and music in general — has the power to make the listener reflect on their own emotions, maybe those they didn't realize they're experiencing.

"You can sing a song and tell somebody how you feel, but if you can tell somebody how they feel and they didn't know they felt that way until they heard you say it, then you've got a home run," he explains. "And that's what music does; not just this song, but that's what music does in general, it gives people a way to communicate in a way that they might not have without that sort of song."
