You were just a girl who lived next door to me that I could tell my troubles to
And when I lost the only love I ever had I went and asked you what to do
You said, "let her go, don't you know, boy you gotta be strong
What you got, work it out, it won't take you too long
I would not look so very far"
Be my girl, be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl!
I took another chance and tried a different girl, but she could never satisfy
I told her it was over, I came back to you and I got me some more advice
You said, "Can't you see that you need more than just looks, someone who can care for you more than any other"
That's when I realized maybe you could
Be my girl, be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl!
You looked at me, I could see that your eyes were shinin'
I could feel it was real, everything was fine
I told you that I loved you and that I want you to
Be my girl, be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl!
