Lyrics
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 girlMy 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 awayShe 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 radioMy 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
