(Shoop-shoop-shoo-doo-doo) Shoo-doo
(Shoop-shoop-shoo-doo-doo) Shoo-doo
(Shoop-shoop-shoo-doo-doo) Doo-doo
(Shoop-shoop-shoo-doo-doo) Doo-doo
[Verse 1: Walter Williams]
Ooh, good lovin'
The girl's got plenty good lovin'
Ask me how I know
And I'll tell you so
She used ta be my girl
I, I respect her
When she was mine
I used to neglect her
Oh, she wanted more
Than I could give
But as long as I live
She'll be my girl
She...
[Chorus: The O'Jays & Walter Williams]
She use ta be my girl
She use ta be my girl
She had a charming personality
The girl was so right for me
She's my girl
And if I had the chance
Lord knows I'd take her back
As a matter of fact
Right away like today
[Verse 2: Walter Williams & Eddie Levert]
Not only good lookin'
The girl was so smart
You can't beat her cookin'
Oh, ask me how I know
And I'll tell you so
She used ta be my girl, ooh
Deep down inside
I still love her
I place no one above her
She's warm and sensitive
For as long as I live
She'll be my girl
And if I had the chance
Lord knows I'd take her back
As a matter of fact
Right away like today
Ooh, well

[Pre-Chorus: Walter Williams]
Good lovin'
The girl's got plenty good lovin'
Ask me how I know
And I'll tell you so
She use ta be my girl, my girl
She used to be
[Chorus: The O'Jays & (Walter Williams)]
She use ta be my girl
She use ta be my girl
(I wouldn't lie about a thing like that)

She use ta be my girl
She use ta be my girl
[Outro: Walter Williams, Eddie Levert, The O'Jays]
Deep down inside, I still love her
I'll place no one above her
Just got to say shoo-doo, shoo-doo
Shoo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
She was mine, all mine
Shoo-doo-doo-doo
(Shoop-shoop-shoo-doo-doo)
She use ta be my girl
She used to be my girl
She use ta be my girl
She use ta be my girl, my girl
She use ta be my girl
