Thank You Girl
Street People Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, oh, mmm, you be good to me
You made me glad when I was blue
And eternally, I'll always
Be in love with you

And all I gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl

I could tell the world a thing
Or two about our love
I know little girl, only a fool
Would doubt our love

And all I gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl

Thank you girl for loving me
The way that you do
That's the kind of love
That is too good to be true

And all I gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl

Oh oh mmm, you be good to me
You made me glad when I was blue
And eternally, I'll always
Be in love with you

And all I gotta do
Is thank you, girl
Thank you, girl

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
