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

Ohh ohh

Hey hey hey

Oh yeah

I don’t need no money, fortune, or fame

I’ve 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, talkin’ ’bout 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
