Chi-Lites 'Oh Girl' HD Lyrics In Description

Oh Girl" is a single recorded by the soul vocal group, The Chi-Lites and released on Brunswick Records in 1972. Included on the group's 1972 album A Lonely Man, "Oh Girl" centers around a relationship on the verge of break-up. The narrator, portrayed by the song's author Eugene Record, expresses concern that the break-up may prove unbearable for him ("Oh girl/I'd be in trouble if you left me now/'Cause I don't know where to look for love/I just don't know how"), while knowing that staying will be no better ("I could save myself a lot of useless tears/Girl I've got to get away from here"; "Better be on my way, I can't stay here").

"Oh Girl" was the Chi-Lites' first and only number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at that position in May 1972 for one week. The single also reached the top position of the Billboard R&B Singles chart the following month, remaining in that position for two weeks. In addition, it reached number fourteen on the UK Singles Chart in July 1972

Lyrics:
Oh, girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love
I just don't know how

Oh, girl, how I depend on you
To give me love when I need it
Right on time you would always be

All my friends call me a fool
They say, Let the woman take care of you
So I try to be hip and think like the crowd
But even the crowd can't help me now, oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh, girl, tell me what am I gonna do
I know I've got a guilty face
Girl, I feel so out of place, oh, yeah, yeah
Don't know where to go, who to see, yeah

Oh, girl, I guess I better go
I can save myself a lot of useless tears
Girl, I've gotta get away from here

Oh, girl, pain will double if you leave me now
'Cause I don't know where to look for love
And I don't, I don't know how

Oh, yeah, mmm hmm
Oh, girl, why do I love you so, yeah
Mmm, better be on my way, I can't stay

Have you ever seen such a helpless man?
Oh oh no
