MY GIRL LYRICS
THE TEMPTATIONS - 1965
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May.
I guess you'd say,
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
I've got so much honey, the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song, than the birds in the trees.
I guess you'd say,
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
Oo-oo-oo-oh.
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame.
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl.
I’ve even got the month of may with my girl.
Talkin’ bout, Talkin’ bout, my girl!
Talkin’ bout, Talkin’ bout, my girl!
