My Girl is a 1991 drama film directed by Howard Zieff and written by Laurice Elehwany. The film depicts the coming-of-age of a young girl who faces many different emotional highs and lows and stars Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis in their first film together since 1983's Trading Places. The film also stars Macaulay Culkin and Anna Chlumsky in her feature film debut.
A sequel, My Girl 2, was released in 1994.
The film is set in Madison, Pennsylvania, in the summer of 1972. Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky) is an 11-year-old tomboy and a hypochondriac. Vada's father, Harry Sultenfuss (Dan Aykroyd), is an awkward widower who does not seem to understand his daughter, constantly ignoring her as a result. His profession as a funeral director, for which the Sultenfuss' residence serves as a funeral parlor, has led Vada to develop an obsession with death. She thinks that she killed her mother, since her mother died giving birth to her. Vada regularly tends to her invalid grandmother Gramoo (Ann Nelson), who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Harry's brother Phil (Richard Masur), who lives nearby, also stops by frequently to help out the family.

Last night you said you wanted to talk wit me
I was at work and you know how my job can be
So then you said it could wait until later on
Cuz it wasn't all that important so I guess we can talk when you get home
So then you got me thinking about what I might have done
Wondering if I did something wrong (something wrong)
But then again and within this time I thought that you were mad
It could've been that just made you happy
Chorus:
If there's anything that you want, you need
Don't be afraid to ask cuz youâ're my girl
If there's anything that you want, you need
Don't be afraid to ask cuz youâ're my girl
Girl don't you my whole world stops for you
And in this relationship you are the person I run to
And I appreciate how you respect my space
But on the real I'm there for anytime of day
You should never start to wonder where you stand
Cuz everyday I want to show you that I'm your man
Chorus: x2
Cuz these nobody whos got your back like I do, girl
Oh no baby see no trouble
I'm your man
I'm gonna be there for you
Chorus fades
