The O'Jays

The O'Jays are an American R&B group from Canton, Ohio, formed in 1958 and originally consisting of Eddie Levert (born June 16, 1942), Walter Williams (born August 25, 1943), William Powell (January 20, 1942 – May 26, 1977), Bobby Massey and Bill Isles.

Good lovin, girls got plenty good lovin' 
Ask me how I know and I will tell you so 
You used to be my girl I respect her 
When she was mine, I used to neglect her 

She wanted more than I could give 
But as long as I live 
She'll be my girl, she used to be my girl 
She used to be my girl 

She had a charming personality 
The girl was so right for me 
She's my girl 
If I had the chance I know I would take her back 

As a matter of fact, right away that day 
My only complaint was ?
The girl was so smart I couldn't keep her ?
Ask her how I know and I'll tell you so 

She used to be my girl 
And I still love her 
I would place on one above her 
She's warm and sensual 

for as long as I live she will be my girl 
If I had the chance I'd take her back 
As a matter of fact right away 
Good lovin, the girl's got plenty good lovin 

Ask me how I know and I will tell you so 
She used to be my girl, my girl 
She used to be, used to be my girl 
She used to be, used to be my girl 

She used to be, used to be my girl
