Verse 1

You know sometimes, I don't know why,
But this whole town just seems so hopeless
I ain't really sure but it seems I remember the good times
Were just a little bit more in focus
But when she puts her arms around me
I can somehow rise above it

Pre-Chorus 1

Yeah, man when I got that little girl standing right by my side
You know I can tell the whole wide world, "Shove it" - hey!!

Chorus

Here comes my girl! Here comes my girl!
Yeah and she looks so right, she is all I need to-night

Verse 2

Every now and then I get down to the end of a day
I have to stop, ask myself, "Why I've done it?"
It just seems so useless to have to work so hard,
And nothin' ever really seems to come from it
And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna’ last forever!"
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it.

Pre-Chorus 2

No, 'cause this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we ain't never gonna' change our minds about it - Hey!!

Chorus

Here comes my girl! Here comes my girl!
Yeah and she looks so right, she is all I need to-night

Middle 8

Watch her walk!
    
    

Verse 3

Yeah, every time it seems like there ain't nothin' left no more
I find myself havin' to reach out and grab hold of somethin'
Yeah, I just catch myself wonderin', waitin', worryin'
About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin'
And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna’ last forever?"
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it

Pre-Chorus 3

No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we ain't never gonna' change our minds about it -hey!!

Chorus

Here comes my girl! Here comes my girl!
Yeah and she looks so right, she is all I need to-night
[Outro] (fade out)
That's right ...
That's right ...
