I Need My Girl

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am good, I am grounded

Davy says that I look taller

I can't get my head around it

I keep feeling smaller and smaller

I need my girl

I need my girl

Remember when you lost your shit

And drove the car into the garden

You got out and said: I'm sorry

To the vines and no one saw it

I need my girl

I need my girl

I'm under the gun again

I know I was a 45 percent then

I know I was a lot of things

But I am good I am grounded

Davy says that I look taller

I can't get my head around it

I keep feeling smaller and smaller

I need my girl

I need my girl

There's some things that I should never

Laugh about in front of family

I tried to call you from the party

It's full of punks and cannonballers

I need my girl

I need my girl

I'm under the gun again

I know I was a 45 percent then

I know I was a lot of things

But I am good I am grounded

Davy says that I look taller

I can't get my head around it

I keep feeling smaller and smaller

I keep feeling smaller and smaller

I keep feeling smaller and smaller
