about

A made up story written by Bart de Win

lyrics

Me and my girl

Once I met a sweet little butterfly
With a naugty little mind and pearly eyes
She was mine for a very little while
I lost my heart, I lost my head
I found some love and then she fled

I wasn't even mad, I was glad instead
Although the sweet little girl took all I had
I blessed her heart cause she'd been tearing me apart
I was fed, daily bread
Too much love nearly left me dead

Me and my girl kept on swinging
Me and my girl kept on singing
Me and my girl kept on swinging
Me and my girl, me and my girl

I remember what my mama used to say
Beware of the girls who only want to play
She was wise but didn't know about guys
I never knew bliss could feel like this
When you fall in love that's all there is

Never heard a word from my butterfly
Till a cute little angel brought a tear to my eye
She was poor and she was standing at my door
I had no doubt, it was clear to see
I fell in love she looked like me

Now me and my baby are getting along
And I learned to stop thinking 'bout right or wrong
She's a pearl, a sweet little girl
I'll tell you no lies, it wasn't wise
But when I found love she was the price

Me and my girl keep on swinging
Me and my girl keep on singing
Me and my girl keep on swinging
Me and my girl, me and my girl
