Oh Girl
Teddy Pendergrass & Friends Lyrics

Oh, girl
The singer addresses a girl and prepares himself to express his emotions.

I'd be in trouble if you left me now 'Cause I don't know where to look for love I just don't know how
The singer admits his dependence on the girl for love and his inability to find it without her.

How I depend on you To give me love when I need it Right on time you would always be
The singer expresses his gratitude for the girl's love, which is always timely and fulfilling.

All my friends call me a fool They say, "let the woman take care of you" So I try to be hip and think like the crowd But even the crowd can't help me now, oh-oh-oh
The artist acknowledges others' opinions of his dependence and his attempts to conform but recognizes that their advice cannot help him now.

Oh, girl Tell me, what am I gonna do I know I got a guilty face Girl, I feel so out of place, oh yeah (1:don't know where to go, who to see, yeah)
The artist expresses his confusion and guilt about his reliance on the girl for love and his feeling of displacement.

Oh, girl I guess I better go I can save myself a lot of useless tears Girl I've gotta get away from here
The singer considers leaving to avoid being hurt by the girl's potential departure.

Oh, girl Pain will double if you leave me now 'Cause I don't know where to look for love And I don't, I don't know how (Oh, girl, why do I love you so, yeah) (Better be on my way, I can't stay) (Have you ever seen such a helpless man)
The singer reiterates his fear of losing the girl and his inability to find love without her, questioning his own love for her and admitting his vulnerability.
