Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Frankie:
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

Stacey:
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 girl

Rochelle:
Though I know
You're the kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
Stacey:
I'll keep waiting and
Someday, darling
You'll come to me when
You want to settle down, oh

Rochelle:
One fine day,
We'll meet one more
And then you'll want the
Love you threw away before
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl

(REPEAT TO FADE)
All:
One fine day
One fine day




You're gonna want me for your girl
One fine day
