Lyrics
- Honey, won’t you listen to a little plea
A little plea, just for me?
Haven’t met a girlie yet who’d suit my taste
All my love has gone to waste
I’ve been looking for about a year or so
High and low, to find a beau
Now I think I’ve found a girl who’ll do
And that little girl is you
Chorus
I’ve been a long, long, long, long, long time
Looking for a girl like you
Every single word you say
Every action that I see
Seems to tell me you’re the
Only, only girl for me
And if you ever, ever, ever
Make your mind up
That a boy like me will do
Take my name and number
And I’ll wait for you
- After all my pleading, don’t turn me down
Just one smile, please don’t frown
Tell me that no other fellow’s won your heart
Say that we’ll not have to part
Then we’ll settle in a cozy little flat
Home sweet home, and things like that
If I’ve made a little hit with you
Take my word I mean it, too
