Lyrics
- I’ve got sunshine
- On a cloudy day
- When it’s cold outside
- I’ve got the month of May
- Well, I guess you’ll say
- What can make me feel this way
- My girl, talking ’bout my girl
- I’ve got so much honey
- The bees envy me
- I’ve got a sweeter song
- Than the birds in the trees
- Well, I guess you’ll say
- What can make me feel this way
- My girl, talking ’bout my girl
- I love my baby
- She makes me feel proud
- I’ll climb the highest mountain
- And sing out loud
- I don’t need no money, yeah
- Fortune or fame
- I’ve got all the riches, baby
- One man can claim
- Well, I guess you’ll say
- What can make me feel this way
- My girl, talking ’bout my girl
In Ben
This song is the 6th track listing in this album.[2]
