Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I’ve looked all my life for a girl like you
Ev’ry guess that I made was wrong
So I’d made up my mind
That I never should find the right one
Then You came along
And now don’t imagine I’ll let you go
Because you say “No” to me
“No” often means “Yes”
I’ll make you confess
In time, just wait and see
So, don’t forget wherever you are
That you belong to me
Led by fate, soon or late
My own you’re bound to be
The flow’rs belong to the Sunlight
The pearls belong to the Sea
So, don’t forget that you’ll love me yet
For you, you belong to me
