Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but did I take your love too right?
Now here's the lowdown,
but I'll keep telling you night after night
You're my girl...
You're the only one... The only one
You're my girl...
You're the only one... The only one
You know I poured my heart out,
stop playing with my sympathy
'Cos baby there's no doubt,
I thought of a plan to make you believe
You're my girl...
You're the only one... The only one
You're my girl...
You're the only one... The only one
Hold me tighter, ooh, tighter and tighter
Never let you go of me, baby.
'Cause when we're in harmony
You're my girl...
You're the only one... The only one
You're my girl...
You're the only one... The only one
You're my girl...
You're the only one... The only one
You're my girl...
You're the only one...
Oh come on baby (You're my girl)
Every night and every day (You're my girl)
You're my girl, oh girl (You're my girl)
