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
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 (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
'Cause she was my girl
Oh, 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'd walk down the street
And I'd 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)
