One Fine Day
Rachael MacFarlane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One fine day, you'll look at me
And you will know our love was, meant to be
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl

The arms I long for, will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me
Walkin' right by your side
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl

Though I know you're the kind of boy
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, we will 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




You're gonna want me
One fine day

You're gonna want me
Twice the desire to have me as a part of your life


One fine day
The optimistically-prophesized exact date but unpredictable day of our unification
