Lyrics

Version Girl

Version girl, what's your name?

Oh you come and you go

Version girl, what's your name?

Just like the morning sun

It's so hard to find a personality with charms

Like yours for me

Oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee

Version girl, what's your name?

Don't you know I long to say

Version girl, what's your name?

It's so hard to find a personality

With charms like yours for me

Oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee

I sit in the sun waiting for you to come along

So my heart will be satisfied

So please let me be your number one

Under the moon, under the stars and under the sun

Version girl, what's your name?

Oh you come and you go

Version girl, what's your name?

Just like the morning sun

It's so hard to find a personality with charms

Like yours for me

Version girl, what's you name?

Oh you come ......etc

Oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee

Talking:

Version girl, what's you name?

Oh you come .......

Oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee

I sit in the sun waiting for you to come along

So my heart will be satisfied

So please let me be your number one

Under the moon, under the stars and under the sun

Version girl, what's your name?

Oh you come and you go

Version girl, what's your name?

Just like the morning sun

It's so hard to find a personality with charms

Like yours for me
