My Best Girl

UB 40 · Labour Of Love III [1998]

I'm gonna tell my friends about you

Tell them about the things that you do to me

Tell them you're my best girl and best you'll always be

Tell them you're everything that's good so good to me



I want to be always close to you

To give a helping hand if ever you're in need

I want to be always close to you



Don't have to try you out for size

You fit my heart so comfortable and warm

The only one I have no doubt no fear about

Without you what would my life be



I want to be always close to you

To give a helping hand if ever you're in need

I want to be always so close to you



I want to be always close to you

To give a helping hand if ever you're in need

I want to be always close to you



Don't have to try you out for size

You fit my heart so comfortable and warm

The only one I have no doubt no fear about

Without you what would my life be

Without you what would my life be



Tell them you're my best girl and best you'll always be

Tell them you're my best girl and best you'll always be

Tell them you're my best girl and best you'll always be

Tell them you're my best girl and best you'll always be
