My Best Girl
Paragons The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna tell my friends about you
Tell them about the things that you do to me
Tell them you're my best girl and best you'll always be
Tell them you're everything that's good so good to me

I want to be always close to you
To give a helping hand if ever you're in need
I want to be always so close to you

Don't have to try you out for size
You fit my heart so comfortable and warm
The only one I have no doubt no fear about
Without you what would my life be?

I want to be always close to you
To give a helping hand if ever you're in need
I want to be always so close to you

Don't have to try you out for size
You fit my heart so comfortable and warm
The only one I have no doubt no fear about
Tell them you're my best girl and best you'll always be




Tell them you're my best girl and best you'll always be
Tell them you're my best girl and best you'll always be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "My Girl" by The Temptations are all about love and happiness. The singer expresses that he is feeling great, even when the weather is dreary outside, because he has his girl. He starts by saying that he has sunshine on a cloudy day, and that even when it's cold outside, he feels like it's the month of May. This is a metaphorical way of saying that his girl brings him joy and happiness no matter the circumstances.


He then goes on to say that he has so much honey that the bees envy him, and a sweeter song than the birds in the trees. Once again, he is using metaphors to express how much his girl means to him. He then repeats the chorus, talking about how there is nothing that can make him feel as good as he does when he's with his girl.


The song then takes a turn when the singer says that he doesn't need money, fortune, or fame. He has all the riches he needs with just his girl. This is a powerful statement about how love can be enough to make someone feel fulfilled in life. The song ends with the singer repeating that he has sunshine on a cloudy day, and that he has the month of May, all because of his girl.


Overall, the lyrics to "My Girl" are simple and straightforward, but they convey a powerful message about the importance of love and relationships in our lives. The use of metaphors and imagery helps to create a vivid picture of the love that the singer feels for his girl.

Love the Rocksteady era, hope someone makes the effort to digitally re-master the tracks from all of these great artists so their legacy can be preserved for generations to come.
