Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
And it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
[Verse 2]
Oh, I guess you'd say
What can make, ooh, me feel this way?
It's my girl
Talkin' 'bout
My girl
[Verse 3]
I've got so much loving
Oh, the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song that I can sing
Than the birds in the trees
[Verse 4]
Oh, I guess you will say
Ooh, what can make me feel this way?
It's my girl
Talkin' 'bout
My girl
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 5]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Ooh, ooh
Yeah
[Verse 6]
I don't need no money
All I need is my fame
I've got all the riches, baby
One big man can claim
[Verse 7]
Oh, I guess you'd say
Ooh, what can make you feel this way?
My girl
Talkin' 'bout
My girl
Ooh
[Verse 8]
I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
With my girl
Even got the month of May
With my, my, my, my, my, my girl
Talkin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout
Ooh, ooh, ooh
