Lyrics
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)
the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than
the birds in the trees
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(My girl)
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh...
I don't need no money,
fortune or fame
I've got all the riches baby
one man can claim
Well I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way? My girl
(My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(My girl)
