What's He Doin' in My World
Ferlin Husky · Just Plain Lonely [Capitol] [1972]
What's he doin' in my world?
What's he doin' holdin' my girl?
If he's not more than just a friend
Then why were you a kissin' him?
And what's he doin' in my world?
What's he doin' in my world?
Did you tell him that you're my girl?
If your love is really true
Tell him my world is made for two.
What's he doin' in my world?
Don't let me keep on wonderin'
Just what you're gonna do
Wonderin' if the one I love
Love somebody new.
What's he doin' in my world?
We don't need him in our world.
So if it's true he's just a friend
Explain the kisses you gave him.
And what's he doin' in my world?
What's he doin' in my world?
We don't need him in our world.
So if it's true he's just a friend
Explain the kisses you gave him.
And what's he doin' in my world?...
