Oh Girl
La Mafia · Other Songs - La Mafia
'Cause I don't know where to look for love
I just don't know how
Oh, girl, how I depend on you
To give me love when I need it
Right on time you would always be
All my friends call me a fool
They say, "Let the woman take care of you"
So I try to be hip and think like the crowd
But not even the crowd can't help me now
Oh, girl, tell me what am I gonna do?
I know I've got a guilty face
Girl, I feel so out of place
Please, don't leave me, baby, I need your love
All my friends call me a fool
They say, "Let the woman take care of you"
So I try to be hip and think like the crowd
But not even the crowd can't help me now
Don't leave me, baby
You mean the world to me, baby
Please girl, I love you so much
Don't you ever leave me, baby
Oh girl, oh girl, please, please don't go
My, my, my, my baby, if you leave me I'll go crazy
