Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you will know our love was meant to be
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your guy
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 guy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting and someday darling
You'll come to me when you want to settle down
One fine day, we'll meet once more
And then you'll want the love you threw away before
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your guy
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your guy
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your guy
