Hello, may I have this dance with you?

How have you been, girl?
Hold me and then, girl
Just let me look at you
Tell me now is it true?

Oh, did you break up?
No chance to make up
I hate to take up all your time
But tell me

Oh, no, it won't be repeated
You mean to tell me he cheated?
Oh, what a fool he's been
Though he is my best friend

I hate it this way
But I've waited for this day
I've always wanted
You to be my girl

You're my girl, you're my girl

I still don't believe it
He played around on you
When all the time he knew
I loved you too

With your big eyes, full lips
High cheek bones
And everything about you, girl
Personality girl

Gimme a chance, come on, let's dance
Some dance the night away

You're my girl, you're my girl
Baby doll, baby, baby, hold me tight
Be mine tonight, say it's alright
And I will never, ever let you go, oh

Be girl, be my girl
You're my girl, you're mine
You're my girl
