As recorded by RAY CHARLES:

A-wella oh yeah
A-wella oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Well you know  that this little girl of mine, I want you people to know 
This little girl of mine, I take her everywhere I go 
One day I looked at my suit, my suit was new 
I looked at my shoes and they were too 
And that's why I, I, I, I 
Oh, love that little girl of mine 

Do you know that this little girl of mine makes me happy when I'm sad 
This little girl of mine loves me even when I'm bad
She knows how to love me right down to a T
If she does any wrong, you know she keeps it from me 
And that's why I, I, I, I  
Oh, love that little girl of mine

(Instrumental Break)

Do you know that this little girl of mine called me last night about eight 
This little girl of mine told me that we had a date 
She said that she'd meet me at a quarter to nine 
Believe it or not, but she was right on time 
And that's why I, I, I, I  
Oh, love that little girl of mine 

Do you know that this little girl of mine knows how to dress so neat 
This little girl of mine stops the traffic on the street 
And when the fellows start whistling, well I don't mind 
I can't blame them because she is fine 
And that's why I, I, I, I  
Oh, love that little girl of mine

And that's why I, I, I, I  
Woah, yeah, love that little girl of mine
