Let me tell you bout a girl I know she's my baby and she lives next door
Every morning fore the sun comes up she brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I just love her so

When I'm in trouble and I need a little friend
That woman she stricks by me to the end
Now you ask me how do I know I smile at you and say she told me so
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I love her so

Oh now when she call me on the telephone and tell me baby I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four to hear me knockin' upon her door
In the evening fore the sun goes down ain't nobody else a hangin' around
She kisses me and holds me tight and tells me pretty baby everything's all right
That's why I know yes I know hallelujah I just love her so

Oh now when she call me on the telephone
