My Girl

Romantic possessive phrase

"My Girl" is a 1964 Motown hit by The Temptations, written by Smokey Robinson and Ronald White.

The song's opening bass line and sweet declaration of devotion made it an enduring romantic standard: I've got sunshine on a cloudy day... I guess you'd say, what can make me feel this way? My girl.

The phrase itself simply means one's girlfriend or romantic partner.
