Error when trying to implement toString method on a custom class

I'm trying to implement a toString method on a custom class I've created.  However whenever I try to save I get the error. "Method must use the override keyword: String toString()".  I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong.  Below is my code.
  
public String toString()
{
	return csvCell;
}

csvCell is defined as a private String.

I've never tried this before but I believe it may be possible using the 'override' keyword.

e.g.
  
public override String toString()
{
	return csvCell;
}

The only thing is that as far as I know, toString() is not a method on the String class. It basically calls the "String.valueOf()" method on the object your trying to coerce. Either way, I hope this helps!
