Ever since she 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 get her 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)
