Verses
1/
You can run around and tell all your friends how you stole her precious love from me
You can laugh, and dance sing about, how she left me there trembling on my knees
/2
That what you want is to break my heart, to keep her yours, keep her far apart from me
Chorus 1
But in her heart she knows, that I'm the only guy that shows
That if I keep her love with mine, then I know we can only shine
She's my girl,
She's my girl
She's my girl
And she belong to me...
3/
I thought her lost, my world was gone, my love was torn away from me
I wandered about mostly aimlessly, until one day it became so clear to me
4/
She had to leave me to let me know, how much she needed me, to let her go
I let her fly in hopes one day, that bird of of mine, would return to me and grow
Chorus 2
But in her heart she knows, that I'm the only guy that shows
That if I keep her love with mine, then I know we can only shine
She's my girl,
She's my girl
She's my girl
And she belong to me...
/5
I kept her love wraped up in silk...I placed it with great care upon my shelf
And then one day I heard her knock, she came back to me, and showerd me in wealth
/6
I took her hand, I kissed her lips, I thought the stars were falling from the sky
And then she whispered in my ear, she said to me,""I'll never leave, your my guy""
Chorus 3
But in her heart she knows, that I'm the only guy that shows
That if I keep her love with mine, then I know we can only shine
She's my girl,
She's my She's my girl
And she belong to me...
Fade
She's my girl,
She's my girl
She's my girl
And she belong to me...
She's my girl,
She's my girl
She's my girl
