When my son ,Jay, was little, I would always sing the song "My Girl" to him, but I would change the lyrics to "I'll bet you'll say, what can make a Mama feel this way, My Jay, My Jay, My Jay, talkin' 'bout my Jay---------------------As we mostly listen to CHRISTian music, it was a long time until he actually heard the real song, when we were out one time. He was mad to find out that the song really wasn't about him.
