One fine day
you'll look at me & you will know
our love was meant 2B
One fine day
you're gonna want me for your girl
The arms I long for will open wide
& you'll be proud to have me
right by your side
One fine day
you're gonna want me for your girl
Though I know you're the kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
I'll be waiting & someday, darling
You'll come to me
When you want to settle down
(Shoobie doobie doo wop)
25 May 1963
