Where The Boys Are
Connie Francis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where the boys are
Someone waits for me
A smiling face, a warm embrace
Two arms to hold me tenderly

Where the boys are
My true love will be
He's walking down some street in town
And I know he's looking there for me

In the crowd of a million people
I'll find my valentine
And then I'll climb to the highest steeple
And tell the world he's mine

'Til he holds me
I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me

'Til he holds me
I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me

Where the boys are
I'm searching for a place where boys gather


Someone waits for me
I know that there's someone out there, waiting for me to find them


A smiling face, a warm embrace
When I find my true love, they will greet me with a happy and loving expression


Two arms to hold me tenderly
They will embrace me tightly and carefully


My true love will be
The person I find will be my one true love


He's walking down some street in town
I believe that he's already out there, walking around town


And I know he's looking there for me
He's searching for me, too


In the crowd of a million people
There may be many people, but I'll still find him


I'll find my valentine
I will find the one I am meant to be with


And then I'll climb to the highest steeple
I will declare my love for him from the highest point I can find


And tell the world he's mine
I'll proudly tell everyone that he belongs to me

I am waiting patiently until we can finally be together


I wait impatiently
I am eagerly anticipating our reunion

Where the boys are, someone waits for me
But I know that once I find it, my true love will be there waiting for me

Where the boys are, someone waits for me
A smilin' face, a warm embrace, two arms to hold me tenderly
Where the boys are, my true love will be
He's walkin' down some street in town and I know he's lookin' there for me
In the crowd of a million people, I'll find my valentine
And then I'll climb to the highest steeple and tell the world he's mine

Till he holds me, I'll wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me

Till he holds me, I'll wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me

No lip sync, no auto tune, just pure, raw talent. What a voice.

So Connie was 23 years old the night this performance was filmed. Hard to believe she is now 84. I hope she’s doing well. She was an amazing talent and from what I’ve read a wonderful person as well.

I don't think it's actually Connie Francis writing to you. I'm pretty sure she has a better grasp of spelling and grammar.

She had an Angel's voice. This is the first song I heard performed by her, and I liked it so much now 62 years ago. And it is still good enough to hear and enjoy.
