My Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got sunshine, on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside, I got the month of May
I guess, you'll say
What can make me feel this way?

[Chorus]
My girl (my girl) my girl
Talking about my girl

[Verse 2]
I go so much honey, the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song, baby, than the birds in the trees
I guess, you'll say
What can make me feel this way?

[Chorus]
My girl (my girl) my girl
Talking about my girl

[Bridge]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 3]
I don't need no money, or count my pay
I've got all the riches, baby, one man can take
I guess, you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
[Chorus]
My girl (my girl) my girl
Talking about my girl

[Verse 4]
I got sunshine, on a cloudy day
I even got the month of May
(My girl) My girl
I'm talking about my girl

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

http://www.timeisonourside.com/SOMyGirl.html” is a song written by Smokey Robinson and, among many artists, covered by The Rolling Stones for their album Flowers, the only album this song appears on.

It is likely an outtake from their previous album Out of Our Heads, since by the time they did Flowers they were recording mostly their own written material and very little cover songs.
