    Chorus:
    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

  • @langstongeorgejr.1221

    This is my kind of music, the mighty O'Jays. Walter and Eddie were tearing it up on the microphone, Walter would be on the left and Eddie was on the right(the brother in the middle kept the harmony together, that was strong singing and the best). The O'Jays was definitely one of my favorite groups in the 70's.

    • @jonbaker1697

      And Eddie (ty for his name) is tearing it up on the dance floor. He must have been magnetic to women.
      The man can really move. His movements are joyous yet smoooth.

    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
    (She was mine, all mine, all mine)
    She use ta be my girl
    She use ta be my girl
    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

We once we drove from San Francico, CA., went to a club in East Bay called Sam's Bar, when you got inside the doorway there stood a huge white Polar Bear stuffed of course. Well we broke out in song in Sam's Bar, They loved us, we created an after party singing chatting it up. We'll my baby Britha is gone now he's been gone since 2008 it is now 2024, I miss him so badly. I taught him how yo shoot Pool/billiards, to bowl, talk smack, which is capping. 😢😂 Those were some of the good old days.
