The Temptations
My Girl Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl

I've got so much honey, the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?

My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl
Ooh

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah

I don't need no money, fortune or fame
I got all the riches baby, one man can claim
Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?

My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl
I've even got the month of may
With my girl

Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl

That's all I can talk about
Is my girl

Overall Meaning

The Temptations' "My Girl" is a soulful and emotive love song that celebrates the beauty and love that a man feels for his girl. The opening line "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day" sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the song's protagonist, who is deeply in love, expressing his happiness and contentment by using the beauty of nature, which is the sunshine on a cloudy day as a metaphor.

The song's lyrics go on to explain how the singer's love, his girl, makes him feel, with lines such as "When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May," which displays the warmth, love, and joy that he feels with his girl. The chorus, which repeats three times, reinforces the fact that the song is about a man and his love for his girl, and how he constantly talks about her and thinks about her.

The third verse is particularly telling, as he sings "I don't need no money, fortune, or fame; I got all the riches, baby, one man can claim." Here, he is saying that the love he has for his girl is all he needs to be happy and fulfilled in life, and that nothing else can compare to the love he feels for her.

Overall, "My Girl" is a timeless love song that expresses how deeply and fully a man can love his girl and how that love can bring him the greatest joy and contentment.

@rayw3294 why did you have bring race in it??? Not necessary, most of the greatest artist are BLACK even before segregation! Not mention all the music stolen and redone by many white artist do your research. If you would have worded your context differently it wouldn't have been taken so offensive, bc I was going to agree with you to some degree that our younger generation music is trash, straight garbage! The rap is mainly ab killing, drugs, sex vulgar etc so I get it. Some of them actually live that lifestyle and some only for entertainment purposes, either way we are only held accountable for our actions, there are some good BLACK groups still around and times have changed as you can see. But our race our culture will always stand out, we happen yo be good at everything 🙏🏽 a blessed people in general. I'm far from racist I have white friends, and biracial family and some of my closet friends are white and guess what I let them speak freely but respectfully bc we are adults and reality is reality, it's the manner in which you address a topic that makes all the difference, btw my ex is white, loved him to pieces we never looked at our skin, only our love. This music is a classic from my generation along with so many other successful artist from back then and I do agree we will never really get this type of music and soul again. But we have memories to cherish, thanks to Motown, Barry Gordon and Clive Davis you guys were genius with music. ❤

I can still remember riding the school bus home when this song came on the radio. I was about seven at the time. We were the last stop. As the bus driver opened the door to let us off the violin solo was just ending. I wasn't going to get off the bus until the song was over. I could see the drivers face in the mirror. It was just him and I enjoying a great song together. He didn't say a word. As I walked off the bus he just smiled and said ''See ya tomorrow''.
