Use Ta Be My Girl Lyrics

Oh, good loving,
The girl's got plenty good lovin'.
Ask me how I know,
And I'll tell you so,
She used ta be my girl

I respect her.
When she was mine,
I used to neglect her.
Ah, she wanted more than I could give,
But as long as I live,
She'll be my girl.

She used ta be my girl,
She used ta be my girl.
She had a charmin' personality,
The girl was so right for me.
She's my girl.
And if I had the chance,
I'd take her back.
As a matter of fact,
Right away, like today.

Not only good lookin',
The girl was so smart.
Ya can't beat her cookin'.
Ah, ask me how I know,
And I'll tell you so
She used ta be my girl.

Deep down inside I still love her.
I place no one above her.
She's warm and sensitive.
For as long as I live
She'll be my girl.
And if I had the chance,
I'd take her back.
As a matter of fact,
right away, like today.

Oh, well.

Oh, good lovin',
The girl's got plenty good lovin'.
Ask me how I know,
And I'll tell you so
She used ta be my girl, my girl.
Deep down inside,
I place no one above her.
She was mine, all mine.
She was mine.
She used ta be my girl,
She used ta be my girl.
