Well she used to be everything to me
When she was my girl
When she was my girl
Oh I held her near and I told her how much I cared
When she was my girl (my girl)
When she was my girl
When she was my girl
There was laughter and loving in my world everyday
When she was my girl
What joy she would bring
Now I've lost everything
She's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I spend the night dreaming how she used to be
When she was my girl (my girl)
When she was my girl (my girl)
When she was my girl
There was laughter and loving in my world, yes it was
When she was my girl
What joy she would bring
Now I've lost everything
She's gone, the big legged girl is gone
She used to be everything to me
When she was my girl (my girl), my girl (my girl)
Oh when she was my girl (my girl)
When she was my girl (my girl)
Oh we walk down the street and I tell everyone we meet
This is my girl (my girl)
This girl, she was mine, come rain or shine
She's my girl (my girl)
And we're so good together...
When she was my girl
When she was my girl
Oh I held her near and I told her how much I cared
When she was my girl (my girl)
When she was my girl
When she was my girl
There was laughter and loving in my world everyday
When she was my girl
What joy she would bring
Now I've lost everything
She's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I spend the night dreaming how she used to be
When she was my girl (my girl)
When she was my girl (my girl)
When she was my girl
There was laughter and loving in my world, yes it was
When she was my girl
What joy she would bring
Now I've lost everything
She's gone, the big legged girl is gone
She used to be everything to me
When she was my girl (my girl), my girl (my girl)
Oh when she was my girl (my girl)
When she was my girl (my girl)
Oh we walk down the street and I tell everyone we meet
This is my girl (my girl)
This girl, she was mine, come rain or shine
She's my girl (my girl)
And we're so good together...
