When She Was My Girl Lyrics

Four Tops

She used to be
everything to me
When she was my girl
mm hmm (my girl)
When she was my girl

I held her near
told her how much I cared
When she was my girl
mm hmm (my girl)
When she was my girl

When she was my girl
there was laughter and loving
in my world everyday
When she was my girl
oh what joy she would bring
Now I've lost everything
She's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

I spend the night
dreaming how she used to be
When she was my girl
mm hmm (my girl)
When she was my girl

(instrumental)

When she was my girl
there was laughter and loving
in my world, yes it were
When she was my girl
oh what joy she would bring
Now I've lost everything
She's gone, the big red girl has gone

She used to be
everything to me
When she was my girl
yeah (my girl)
When she was my girl

She, she, my girl
She's so foxy, can't you see?
and this girl belongs to me
(my girl) She's my girl
When we walk down the street
I would tell everyone we meet
"This is my girl"
