[Verse 1]
I've got sunshine, on a cloudy day
When its cold outside, I've got the month of May

[Chorus]
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (My girl, my girl)
Talking 'bout my girl (My girl)

[Verse 2]
I've got so much honey, the bees envy me, mmm-hmm
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees

[Chorus]
Well, I guess you'll say
What pretty little girl can make me feel this way?
My girl (My girl, my girl)
Talking 'bout my girl (My girl)
Ooh, hoo hoo, yeah yeah

[Bridge]
Hey, hey, hey...
Hey, hey, hey...
Ooh yeah

[Verse 3]
I don't need money, fortune or fame, oh no
'Cause I've got all the riches, baby
One man can claim

[Chorus]
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make Stevie feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talking 'bout my girl

[Outro]
(Talking 'bout my girl)
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
I've even got the month of May with my girl
(my girl, my girl)
Talking 'bout, talking, talking 'bout my girl
Oh, ho, my girl

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
