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 girl
The arms I long for, will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me
Walkin' right by your side
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
