Looking For A Boy
June Christy & Joe Castro Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
Tell me please, where can he be,
The loving he who'll bring to me
The harmony I'm dreamin' of?
It'll be goodbye, I know,
When he says hello, so;
I am just a little girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
If it's true that love affairs are all arranged in heaven,
My guardian angel's holding out on me!
So I'm looking for a boy 'bout five foot six or seven,
And won't be happy till I'm on his knee!
I'll be blue until he comes my way,
Hope he takes the cue when I am sayin'
Tell me please, where can he be,
The loving he who'll bring to me
The harmony I'm dreamin' of?
It'll be goodbye, I know,
To my tale of woe
When he says hello, so;
I am just a little girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
Won't you find that boy?
Help me find a boy
Who's lookin' for a girl to love.
In June Christy's song Looking for a Boy, a young girl is expressing her desire to find true love. She is longing for a boy who is also looking for someone to love, someone who will bring the harmony that she has been dreaming of. She is hopeful that when they finally meet, it will be the end of her tale of woe and the beginning of a new, happier chapter in her life. The girl believes that love affairs are predestined in heaven, but wonders why her guardian angel has been holding out on her. She paints a picture of her ideal partner being about five foot six or seven and hopes he will take the cue when she says she's looking for someone to bring her the harmony she's been dreaming of. With this song, June Christy captures the innocence and naivete of a young girl's yearning for love.
