Girl
Davy Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I did one episode of the Brady Bunch
And everyone thinks that I married Marcia Brady
Moved to Ohio and had six kids but
It didn't happen that way

Girl, look what you've done to me
Me and my whole world
Girl, you brought the sun to me
With your smile, you did it girl

I'm telling you girl, something unknown to me
Makes you what you are
And what you are is all that I want for me
And it's good to feel that way girl

Thank you girl, for making the nighttime nicer
Girl, for making the daytime brighter
Girl, for making a better world for me

I'm telling you girl, something unknown to me
Makes you what you are
And what you are is all that I want for me
And it's good to feel that way girl

Thank you girl, for making the nighttime nicer
Girl, for making the daytime brighter
Girl, for making a better world for me

Thank you girl, for making the winter warmer
Girl, for making the music softer
Girl, for making a better world for me





Thank you girl (thanks everybody, lovely to see you)
