I got a girl who lives with me 
I got a girl she smells so sweetly 
I got a girl she loves her dog 
I got a girl I love her dog too! 
I got a girl who stares in the mirror 
I got a girl who blames it on her period 
I got a girl she is so right 
I got a girl she's my guiding light 

Well I know  I need  I feel we're going higher and higher 
Well I know  I need  I feel we're going higher and higher 

I got a girl who loves good soul 
I got a girl who dances to disco 
I got a girl who wears cool shoes 
I got a girl who wears them in the nude! 

I got a girl who speaks her mind 
I got a girl she'll argue anytime 
I got a girl she is so small 
I got a girl she'll knock down any wall 

Well I know, I need, I feel we're going higher and higher 
Well I know, I need, I feel we're going higher and higher 

Get a load of this she's always bitching at me when I'm feeling down, 
Asking questions with her little frown, 
I can't take much much more of this, I'm out 
Get a load of this she's always bitching at me when I'm feeling down, 
Asking questions with her little frown, 
I can't take much much more of this , I'm out

I got a girl I love to kiss 
I got a girl I never want to miss 
I got a girl who's my best friend 
I got a girl that won't even hold my hand 

I got a girl that makes me laugh 
I got a girl I'll make her laugh too 
I got a girl she has girlfriends 
I got a girl I like her girlfriends!

Well I know, I need, I feel we're going higher and higher 
Well I know, I need, I feel we're going higher and higher 

I got a girl 
I got a girl 
I got a girl 
And she's got a guy
