My Girl

Gareth Gates · Other Songs - Gareth Gates

IÂ’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
When itÂ’s cold outside
IÂ’ve got the month of May
I guess youÂ’d say
What can make me feel this way

My girl (my girl, my girl ooh)
TalkinÂ’ bout my girl
(My girl)

IÂ’ve got so much honey
The bees envy me
IÂ’ve got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you say
What can make me feel this way

My girl (my girl, my girl ooh)
TalkinÂ’ bout my girl
My girl

Ooh
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooh yeah

I donÂ’t need no money
Fortune or fame
IÂ’ve got all the riches baby
One man can claim
Well, I guess you say
What can make me feel this way

My girl (my girl, my girl, ooh)
TalkinÂ’ bout my girl
My Girl
TalkinÂ’ bout my girl

IÂ’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl,
I even got the month of May
My girl
TalkinÂ’ bout
TalkinÂ’ bout
My girl
TalkinÂ’ bout my girl
