She used to be
everything to me
When she was my girl

mm hmm (my girl)
When she was my girl


I held her near
told her how much I cared
When she was my girl

mm hmm (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
oh 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
mm hmm (my girl)

When she was my girl

(instrumental)


When she was my girl
there was laughter and loving

in my world, yes it were
When she was my girl
oh what joy she would bring

Now I've lost everything
She's gone, the big red girl has gone


She used to be
everything to me
When she was my girl

yeah (my girl)
When she was my girl


She, she, my girl
She's so foxy, can't you see?
and this girl belongs to me

(my girl) She's my girl
When we walk down the street
I would tell everyone we meet

"This is my girl"
