Send "My Guy" Ringtone to your Cell
Mary WellsMy Guy Lyrics:
Nothing you could say
Can tear me away from my guy
Nothing you could do
'Cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy
I'm sticking to my guy
Like a stamp to a letter
Like the birds of a feather
We stick together
I'm telling you from the start
I can't be torn apart from my guy
Nothing you can do
Could make me untrue to my guy (my guy)
Nothing you could buy
Could make me tell a lie to my guy (my guy)
I gave my guy my word of honor
To be faithful and I'm gonna
You best be believing
I won't be deceiving my guy
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is, he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste to be exact
he's my ideal as a matter of fact
No muscle bound man
Could take my hand from my guy (my guy)
No handsome face
Could ever take the place of my guy (my guy)
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to being happy we are
there's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
[Instrumental]
No muscle bound man
Could take my hand from my guy (my guy)
No handsome face
Could ever take the place of my guyb (my guy)
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to being happy we are
there's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
there's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy
