Lyrics
1. The kids that see me come to call
Have written your name and my name on the wall
It’s common gossip everywhere
That you and I have got it bad, for fair
Refrain:
You’re my girl, the boys all know
You’re my girl, I’ve told them so
You should have seen how their faces fell
When they were wising me well
They called me a lucky gy
And I couldn’t hide a feeling of pride
You’re my girl, I’ve chosen you
To be mine my whole life through
And if this heart of mine had a voice
You’d hear it second my choice
You’re what I’ve waited for and you’re my girl
2. I know why all the fellows frown
Whenever you take me walking through the town
Because they’ve guessed it more or less
My dear, what else could I do but confess?
