Boy of My Own Lyrics by Shelley Fabares

Shelley! All Her Hits plus Rarities

0

[Intro]
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-sha-la)
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-sha-la)
[Verse 1]
The fellows that I meet always smile (Sha-la-la-la)
They even stop and talk for a while (Sha-la-la-la)
But one's in love in Jane
And one belongs to Joan
And I keep looking for
A boy of my own
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la)
[Verse 2]
I've dreamed about the way it would be (Sha-la-la-la)
To have my own particularly (Sha-la-la-la)
To know that someone cares
And never be alone
But somehow I must find
That boy of my own
[Bridge]
Is he just around the corner
Or a million miles away?
Though I'd wait for him a lifetime
Maybe we will meet today
[Verse 3]
The moment that we meet, I will know (Sha-la-la-la)
And all he'll have to say is "Hello" (Sha-la-la-la)
And there, at last, he'll be
The love I've never known
The answer to my prayer
A boy of my own
[Chorus]
(Gotta get a boy) Gotta get a boy
(Someone) To talk with
I just gotta get a boy (Gotta get a boy)
Someone to hope with
I just gotta get a boy (Gotta get a boy)
To kiss (Gotta get a boy)
And hold (Gotta get a boy)
A boy of my own
[Chorus]
(Gotta get a boy) Gotta get a boy
(Someone) To talk with
I just gotta get a boy (Gotta get a boy)
Someone to hope with
I just gotta get a boy (Gotta get a boy)
To kiss (Gotta get a boy)
And hold (Gotta get a boy)
A boy of my own
(Gotta get a boy)
