Context

This line is from the song "My Girl" by The Temptations from the album The Temptations Sing Smokey (1964).

The narrator of the song "My Girl" says he has it all. More honey than the bees. A sweeter song than the birds in the trees. He "don't need no money" because he's "got all the riches, baby, one man can claim."

No, he isn't Scrooge McDuck swimming in a giant vat of gold. 

The riches he has come in the form of his girl. She's the sunshine on his cloudy day.

Where you've heard it

You've heard this one as part of the movie My Girl (1991)—although they really should have changed the line about the bees for the movie… 

Womp womp.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

As long as you're talking about love and not actually bragging about cash, you're in good shape.
