[Spoken Intro]
Los Angeles
I said Los Angeles
Do you feel alright tonight?
I said do you feel alright tonight?
Well alright, come on
Throw your hands in the air
And wave 'em like you just don’t care
And if you came tonight to see your man B. 'Knight
Somebody say "Oh yeah" (Oh yeah)
"Oh yeah" (Oh yeah)
"Oh yeah" (Oh yeah)
Now somebody scream

[Verse 1]
See, I know what you're thinkin’
You're feelin' like a lucky guy
I was the same way
'Cause she was hard to come by
I was on her so hard
That I almost lost my hustle
So go 'head, playboy, do your thing
Don't be mad if she calls my name

[Chorus]
Walkin' around, sportin' her, holdin’ her hand
Doin’ it big like you're the man
But she was my girl
She used to be my girl
I must admit that she’s a ten
Bet she didn't tell you about way back when
When she was my girl
She used to be my girl

[Verse 2]
I know how you're feelin'
I used to be in your shoes
So calm down with the attitude
You’re just the next somebody new
You never know how much she's feelin' you
So be happy that you got her
Don't know much about you, dude
Sorry, I gotta break the news

[Bridge]
She's still thinkin' 'bout me
And I'll tell you why
She couldn't even hold her head up when you walked by
Well, don't go hatin' on me
It's just a game
You want her, you got her
Take her, you got her
To me it's all the same

[Chorus]
Walkin' around, sportin' her, holdin' her hand
Doin' it big like you're the man
But she was my girl
She used to be my girl
I must admit that she's a ten
Bet she didn't tell you about way back when
When she was my girl
She used to be my girl

[Bridge 2]
Erotic, exotic
You must admit she's got it
She used to be my girl
Sexy with talent
Built like a stallion
She used to be my girl
You got her so flaunt her
Know everybody wants her
She used to be my girl
'Cause you might not be the only
So never leave her lonely
Walk around...

[Chorus]
Walkin' around, sportin' her, holdin' her hand
Doin' it big like you're the man
But she was my girl
She used to be my girl
I must admit that she's a ten
Bet she didn't tell you about way back when
When she was my girl
She used to be my girl
