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 I hope she gets the message Got to get 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 [Repeat x12]
