Lyrics
Shoobie-doobie-doobie-doobie-doo-wop-wop
Shoobie-doobie-doobie-doobie-doo-wop-wop
One fine day, you’ll look at me
And you will know our love was meant be
One fine day, you’re gonna want me for your girl
Shoobie-doobie-doobie-doobie-doo-wop-wop
Shoobie-doobie-doobie-doobie-doo-wop-wop
The arms I long for will open wide
And you’ll be proud to have me right by your side
One fine day, you’re gonna want me for your girl
Shoobie-doobie-doobie-doobie-doo-wop-wop
Shoobie doobie doo wop
Though I know you’re the kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
I’ll be waiting and someday darling
You’ll come to me
When you want to settle down, oh
One fine day, we’ll meet once more
Then you’ll want the love, you threw away before
One fine day, you’re gonna want me for your girl
Aah-aah
Aah-aah
One fine day
You’re gonna want me for your girl
One fine day
You’re gonna want me for your girl (one fine day)
One fine day (oh yeah)
You’re gonna want me for your girl (one fine day)
