Discover the story of the song > Oh Girl – The Chi-Lites

The protagonist is telling his partner, referred to as 'girl', that he would be lost without her love because he doesn't know how to find it anywhere else. He feels dependent on her to always give him love when he needs it and his friends think he's foolish for relying on her. However, he also feels guilty and out of place without her and doesn't know what he would do if she were to leave him. Ultimately, he realizes he needs to leave her to save himself from useless tears, but the pain of losing her would be too much for him to bear because he doesn't know how to find love on his own.
