This little girl of mine
I want you people to know
This little girl of mine
I take her everywhere I go

One day I looked at my suit
My suit was new
I looked at my shoes
And they were too

And that's why, why, why, why
Oh, yeah, love that
Little girl of mine

This little girl of mine
Makes me happy when I'm sad
This little girl of mine
Loves me even when I'm bad

She knows how to love me
Right down to the tee
If she does anything wrong
You know she keeps it from me

And that's why, why, why, why
Oh, yeah, love that
Little girl of mine

And that's why, why, why, why
Oh, yeah, love that
Little girl of mine

This little girl of mine
Called me last night about eight
This little girl of mine
Told me that we had a date

She said that she'd meet me
At a quarter to nine
Believe it or not
But she was right on time

And that's why, why, why, why
Oh, yeah, love that
Little girl of mine

This little girl of mine
Knows how to dress so neat
This little girl of mine
Stops the traffic on the street

And when the fellows
Start whistling
I don't mind
I can't blame them
'Cause she is fine

And that's why, why, why, why
Oh, yeah, love that
Little girl of mine
