My Girl Friday
( Written by Curtis Wright / Carl Jackson )
She stands there with her suitcase
We've been through all this before
I know it's gonna hurt me
When she walks out the door
I wish things could be different
We didn't have to say goodbye
But someone else is in the picture
And we don't see eye to eye
The minute that she leaves here
She'll run straight to their arms
Gotta find the strength to let her go
Even though it breaks my heart
One last time I'll hold her tightly
And kiss her on the cheek
As she rushes to the car I'm left
To face the lonely week
Chorus:
She's my girl Friday as far as I'm concerned
I'm lost without her, don't know which way to turn
Thursday takes forever and Monday comes too soon
But at least she's my girl Friday 'til Sunday afternoon
She stands up in the backseat
And softly waves goodbye
I look away before I want to
She don't need to see my cry
I know that I'd go crazy
If it wasn't for the fact
I'll always be her daddy
And they'll have to bring her back
Chorus:
She's my girl Friday as far as I'm concerned
I'm lost without her, don't know which way to turn
Thursday takes forever and Monday comes too soon
But at least she's my girl Friday 'til Sunday afternoon
