Ever since left me
i sure feel all alone
a little misunderstanding
i can't get her on the telephone
hanging out down on main street
living in a different world
standing around with the gang on the corner
talking about my girl
My girl - she was the world to me
she's gone - away across the street
my girl - is just a memory
she's been so long away
She didn't have to leave me
she didn't have to run
she didn't have to go without a word to anyone
i hope she's doing alright
i got no way to know
unless she gets to hear this song
hear it on the radio
My girl - she was the world to me
she's gone - and that's a tragedy
my girl - is just a memory
she's been so long away
[break]
I hope she gets the message
got to ger back, you know
gonna track her down, i'll find that girl
gonna tell her that i love her so
put the word on the grapevine
spread it all around the world
sooner or later i know i'm gonna get her
i'm talking about my girl
my girl
My girl (x12)
