Lyrics
- Looking for love is looking for the rainbow’s end
That’s what I long believed
Heaven’s above! I never thought my heart would mend
I had been so deceived
That’s because all the men I met
Were the frivolous kind
I hated them! Then I met
One who changed my mind
Chorus
I’ve got me a real man, I’m makin’ it known
And tellin’ the world, I’ve got a man of my own
I’ve found my ideal man, I’m never alone
I’m spendin’ my evenin’s with a man of my own
Hasn’t much to praise and in many ways he isn’t so hot
But he’s all for me, mine exclusively, that’s sayin’ a lot
Honestly, I wouldn’t trade him for a king on a throne
Oh, Lordy, at last I’ve got a man of my own
- He’s not the kind that women lose their heads about
But he’s O. K. with me
He’s not designed for cheating or for stepping out
Which suits me perfectly
I’ll admit that he’s not a man
With a lot of appeal
I don’t care! I’ve got a man
No one’s goin’ to steal
