Funkadelic - America Eats Its Young

That Was My Girl

If the girl displayed a smile
that almost drove the fellas wild
That was my girl
(That was my girl)

If your composure
sorta slips
the moment that you saw her lips
that was my girl
(that was my girl)
Unlike a deck of cards
where there's 4 of a kind
There's only one of her
and she's all mine
If the sight of her brightens your world
Then it had to be nobody
(had to be nobody)
It had to be no one
(had to be no one)
It just had to be none other
(had to be none other)
My girl
(my girl)

Knowing just how she acted
into her I was attracted
that was my girl

catch a look with my busy eyes
as she was casually strolling by
that was my girl

As rare as a mink with yellow fur
You'll find one of them before you find one of her
She's the only kind like her in the world
Talkin' bout nobody
(talkin' bout nobody)
Said I'm speakin' of no one
(speakin' of no one)
I'm just rappin' 'bout nobody
(rappin' 'bout nobody)
But my girl
(my girl)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(whoo-hoo-hoo)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Talkin' 'bout my girl

If beautiful in recreation
was not your imagination
that was my girl
(that was my girl)

You want the girl no need to try
forget the girl I'll tell you why
that was my girl
(that was my girl)

As rare as a mink with yellow fur
(whooo!)
You'll find one of them before you find one of her

She's the only kind like her in the world
(wooo)
Talkin' 'bout nobody
(talkin' 'bout nobody)
Said I'm speakin' of no one
(speakin' of no one)
I'm just rappin' 'bout nobody
(rappin' 'bout nobody)
But my girl
(my girl)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Talkin' 'bout my girl
Whoo-hooo-hooo my girl
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Talkin' 'bout my girl
Woo-hooo my girl
