Ever since she left me
I sure feel all alone
A little misunderstanding
I can't get her on the telephone

Hangin' out down on Main Street
Livin' in a different world
Standing around with the gang on the corner
Talkin' 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 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 doin' alright
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 been so long away

I hope she gets the message
Gotta 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
Talkin' about my girl, my girl

My girl, my girl, my girl, my girl
My girl, my girl, my girl, my girl
My girl, my girl, my girl, my girl
My girl
