When you were my girl
You drove a convertible
I wanted to be seen
Cruising down the avenue
With your hand on my knee
You stuck tight right next to me
For all the world to see
With something so good,
a good hand When you said you'd rather just be friends
I don't wanna be friends
I wanna love you till the end
I don't wanna start over again
I could run for miles
Just thinking about your smile When you were my girl
I worked harder than anyone I was getting promoted
Getting so much done
And I could take
a lot
Give as good as I got I've been there when times are hard
Like a human on my car A couple kids and a dog in the yard
Now I sleep
when I
should be on my feet
When you were my girl
I felt like Superman
Now I just feel bad
Thinking about what we had
But I'm fine
I'm friends and I come alive And I drive my convertible
Cruising down the avenue
I forget all about you
I can't take
a lot I can give as good as I got
When you were my girl
I drove my convertible
Cruising down the avenue
With your hand on my knee
You stuck tight right next to me
When you were my girl
my girl
When you were my girl
