[Verse 1]
Well, she used to be
Everything to me
When she was my girl
When she was my girl

[Verse 2]
Oh, I held her near
And I told her how much I cared
When she was my girl ()
When she was my girl

[Chorus]
When she was my girl
There was laughter and loving in my world every day
When she was my girl
Oh, what joy she would bring, now I've lost everything
She's gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone

[Verse 3]
I spend the night
Dreaming how she used to be
When she was my girl ()
When she was my girl ()
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
When she was my girl
There was laughter and loving in my world, yes, it was
'Cause she was my girl
Oh, what joy she would bring, now I've lost everything
She's gone
The big legged girl is gone

[Verse 4]
She used to be
Everything to me
When she was my girl ()
My girl ()

[Refrain]
Oh, when she was my girl ()
When she was my girl ()

[Outro]
Oh, I'd walk down the street, and I'd tell everyone we'd meet
This is my girl ()
This girl, she was mine, come rain or shine
She's my girl ()
And we're so good together
