I'm so happy, I'm glad as I can be
Cause I got someone who's happy to see me
Now she's got it made
She has started the second grade
My girl (my girl) my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
She loves to yell and tear around,
Hold hands with other girls, squeal, jump up and down--
Life is heaven
If you're a girl and you are seven
My girl (my girl) my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
We tried to interest her in cello and in theater
Today she made her debut as a cheerleader
Sis boom rah rah
She waves her pom pons
My girl (my girl) my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey (oooh)
I've got sunshine simply by her presence
And I try not to think about her adolescence
No teen violence
She will sit with folded hands
My girl (my girl) my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
