Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
[Chorus]
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl
[Verse 2]
I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
[Chorus]
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
Ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 3]
I don't need no money
Fortune, or fame
I got all the riches, baby
One man can claim
[Chorus]
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)
[Outro]
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
Written by: Ronald White, William "Smokey" Robinson
