Smokey Robinson
My Girl (Summer of Soul Soundtrack - Live at the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival)
[Intro]
We got a few surprises coming up here
People that you didn't even know thought about what this is all about
And now, ladies and gentlemen
Motown moves to Soulsville
Here in Harlem in Mount Morris Park
One of the greatest song stylists of our time
He's a superstar
He's tall, dark, handsome
David Ruffin!

Like to go back to the olden days
Huh? Pick a thing out for ya
Simply goes like this

[Verse 1]
I've got sunshine, woo
On a cloudy day
Whenever it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
Can I get you to sing along with me onе time?

[Chorus]
Well, I g- (I can't hear ya)
Somеthing says it's my girl
Talkin' about my girl, yeah
[Verse 2]
I've got so
Much honey, the bees envy me, yes, darling
And I've got a sweeter song
Than any bird in any tree
How you doing, brother? Woo

[Chorus]
Well, I guess you would say
What pretty new girl could make a man like me feel this way?
It's my girl, woo
Talkin' about nobody but my girl, ooh

[Bridge]
Baby, hey, hey, hey
I wanna hear you say it!
Hey, hey, hey
You're so sweet and you're so kind
I could love you, darling, all the time, but

[Verse 3]
I don't need no money, baby
Fortune or fame
I don't need it
I got all the riches, baby
One sweet man can claim
I love you too, darling, woo
[Chorus]
Well, I guess that you and you would say
What pretty little girl could make a man like me feel this way?
It's my girl, ooh
Talkin' about my girl
Listen to me one time

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
I've even, I've even got the month of May with my girl
Talkin' about nobody but my girl, ooh
Woo, ah

[Breakdown]
I love my baby, yeah, woo
I love you, baby, I love you, ooh
I love to talk about my baby
I love, baby
I love to talk about ya, darling
It makes me feel like I've got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
I've even got the month of May
And I love to talk about my baby
How ya doing, brother?
I love to talk about you, baby, woo
I love to talk about my baby
I'd like to tell ya one thing that
A friend of mine told me this evening
He said, "David, I saw your baby going down to the festival
And she didn't even have the same expression up on her face
Even when you looked at her"
Or that she didn't even have the same expression even when I walked up to her
He said, "Something missing"
Can you dig it?
Can you dig it?
He said, "Something missing"
I said, "What is it, man? Just say that"
That expression is gone
And still lingering, and still lingering on
And I asked him, I said, "What is my baby doing?"
He told me one thing
And a friend of mine Mr. Wilson Pickett said it not too long ago
He said, woo

You was moving
Down a crowded avenue, woo
They told me the little girl thrilling, yes, she was
Doing all the little things you'd like to do, ooh

[Outro]
And I'm looking for my baby, baby
I'm looking for you, baby, woo
I love to talk about my girl, yeah
