Girl Thing were a British girl band, made up of members, Jodi Albert, Anika Bostelaar, Linzi Martin, Michelle Barber and Nikki Stuart. They are most famous for their song "Last One Standing" written and produced by the Steelworks production team of Tim Lever, Mike Percy and Eliot Kennedy, which hit the Top 10, peaking at number 8 in the UK Singles Chart in July 2000. It also made the Australian top 15, where it achieved gold sales.
After the failure of their second single "Girls On Top", which reached number 25, the album release was cancelled in Britain. It was, however, still released in Australia, New Zealand, India and Japan. The band also recorded the songs "Young, Free & Happy", "Extraordinary Love", "Summer Daze", "If That's What It Takes", "Last Goodbye" and "You Can Run But You Can't Hide". The band recorded the Alison Clarkson (aka Betty Boo, now in WigWam) co-written song, "Pure and Simple", before ITV's Popstars winners Hear’Say.
Since splitting up, two members have found fame: Jodi Albert in the British soap opera Hollyoaks, and Michelle Barber as a presenter on Nickelodeon. In July 2007, Anika Bostelaar released a single called "King of the Dancefloor" under the name 'Kiana'. She also passed the audition in the Dutch-Flemish tv program 'K2 zoekt K3'.

Spoken: Ya know…I’ve been meaning to get with you for some time now. (Uh) Ya, I know you got a man. But, what your man got to do with me?
You see me rollin’ up in my Mercedes

Just say the word & let it loose (girl, give it up)
Without the fuss, I’m in no rush (to make my move)
She’s not into the girl thing
That’s ok, cause I’m gonna get her anyway
She’ll get a load of my boy thing
She’ll feel it slide and we’ll ride the night away
She’ll be so into my girl thing
She won’t make me stop, when I drop, and I make her cherry pop
It’s all about this girl thing
U can’t deny what ya feel inside cause u know I’ll do u right
U know the way you act, u drive me crazy
That’s not a myth, it’s fact-u sexy lady

And all the stuff that he can’t do (for you, he should-he must)
He’ll be ok-just let him loose (girl, give him up)
It’s time for us, and not that lush (please let me make my move)
She’s not into the girl thing (not into the girl thing)
That’s ok, cause I’m gonna get her anyway (I’m gonna get her)

RAP: Oh-Oh-Oh -Oh

Or should I say maybe

I hear yo' body whining
For me to come and grind it
It's ok, baby girl
I know you bout-it, bout-it
Bump what yo' man talkin'

So move over while we do our thing
Woah (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey) the last one standing Yeah, yeah, you know we are the last ones standing
It's the end of an era, the start of a new day
We get the mic and we're gonna rock it our way
People saying that the world has changed
'Cause of power to the girl, but the girl's the same
We've got feminine touch in all the right places
Stars in our eyes and smiles on our faces
Round one, it's over, hear the bell ring
So move over while we do our thing
Don't get me wrong, we're not tryin' to front
But Cindi was right, girls just wanna have fun
It's a girl thing with the right swing
G for the girl and T for the thing
'Cause life's a game and we all like to play
But when it comes to love we love to do it our way
Some say we are physically demanding
Only 'cause we're the last ones standing
Chorus:
Pull your baby nearer, it's the end of an era
And we're the last ones standing
Yeah, yeah, you know, we are the last one standing
It's your party, keep us here let's stay up all night
And be the last ones standing
Yeah, yeah, you know, we are the last one standing
Try forgetting everything that you heard before
No matter how many times you hear this
You'll wanna hear it some more
This is our year so have no fear
We're gonna stay, y'know, we're gonna take it all the way
Tight-knitted, we're fitted, no-one can break us
Take us away from each other brother
'Cause when the girls wanna hit the scene
Together like a team we're gonna take it to the extreme
A wink and a smile is always worth your while
But when the girls step to it you know that we can do it
C'mon, check the vibe and all the rhymes we're bringin'
Beat so hard we've got alarm bells ringing
Watch the girls shine, don't walk away
It's our time and we wanna play
So if you find this physically demanding
It's no surprise we're the last ones standing
Chorus:
Pull your baby nearer, it's the end of an era
And we're the last one standing
Yeah, yeah, you know, we are the last one standing
It's your party, keep us here let's stay up all night
And be the last ones standing
Yeah, yeah, you know, we are the last one standing
Nothing's keeping us down
Because we're on tonight and there's no denying it
The world's our merry-go-round
The time has come tonight for getting down let's party
Squeeze a little left, push a little right
There's a whole lotta love in the world tonight
Are you in, are you out, grab the mic and give a shout
Chorus:
Pull your baby nearer, it's the end of an era
And we're the last one standing

The girls on top
Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh
We stood all alone
Waiting for this day to come
And I held you close
But I couldn't feel your pain
I didn't know
This would be the last time
This would be the last kiss
This was our goodbye
If you were letting go
I should've been the one you told
I never heard you say goodbye
And I'm sorry isn't good enough
Because lately I've been giving up
And I'm sorry isn't good enough
And your last goodbye
Made me realize
I'll be alright
How could you laugh?
How could you lie to me?
You held me close
But I couldn't feel your pain
I should've known
This couldn't last forever
The last thing I remember
Was standing all alone
If you were letting go
I should've been the one you told
I never heard you say goodbye
And I'm sorry isn't good enough
Because lately I've been giving up
And I'm sorry isn't good enough
And your last goodbye
Made me realize I'll be alright
And so suddenly
I've stopped falling down
I believe in me one more time
And I'm sorry
And I'm sorry isn't good enough
Sorry
I'm sorry
And I'm sorry isn't good enough
I'm sorry isn't good enough
I'm sorry
There's somebody coming
There's somebody coming
Have you ever had a friend
That never let you down
Right by your side every night and day
Always hear you when you're calling
Catch you when you're falling
There's somebody coming your way
Bridge
With this song
Now I know
There is a love for everyone
And I go on
Praying for what I want
Chorus
Someone who cares, from all of us
Someone who gives, to all of you
Whenever you think that you're the only
One that's feeling lonely
There's somebody coming to you (x2)
That's true
Verse 2
Have you ever had a dream of a fantasy
Do you believe that love will come your way
Always there to see you smiling
Share the pain of crying
There's somebody coming today
Bridge & Chorus
So if you hear me now
I'll never ask again
Please, send me a friend
Someone who cares
Someone who gives
If you believe in you and me
Chorus
You can run but you can hide
I will be right by your side
'Cuz I've been thinking 'bout you, thinking 'bout you
And the way you make me feel
You can run but you can't hide
Baby you just can't deny
That you've been thinking 'bout me, thinking 'bout me
It's nothing to conceal
You and I got so much in common
I think you know, baby what I mean
You're acting like you don't want me
But that's not the way that it seems to be
'Cuz I can tell that your watching
I feel the heat when we're touching
I won't let go
I wanna know, is it love
Bridge
Maybe it's because you're trying to be cool
Maybe you're afraid of breaking the rules
Hey -ey-ey-ey
Don't take me for a fool
Chorus
I see the looks that you give me
I know just what they mean to me
The games you play drives me crazy
Don't fool around with this lady
Boy I won't chase you forever
It's gotta be now or never
So lets it show
I wanna know, it is love?
Bridge & Chorus
Hey boy, knocking at my backdoor
Playing me hot and cold, but you will never let go
Baby, 'cuz I got what it takes, got what you need
Playing the hide and seek, but I'm here for keeps
Boy I'm gonna getcha
You can be sure I'm gonna letcha
What the world brings, 'cuz it's a girlthing
Is it on, is it not?
Is it cold, is it hot?
Baby you can run, but you just can't hide
