I'VE LOOKED ALL OVER FOR A BOY LIKE YOU

I knew the moment that I met you,
Now I know I never will forget you!
I have always had your picture in my heart,
You're my ideal sweetheart, for;

I've looked all over
For a boy like you.
I've been a rover,
What else could I do?

Now that you know me,
What's my answer to be?
I've looked all over
For a boy like you!

Please don't think that you are being hurried,
But I will admit that I am worried!
Someone else might steal your heart most any day,
That's why I act this way, for;

I've looked all over
For a boy like you.
I've been a rover,
What else could I do?

But now that you know me,
What's my answer to be?
I've looked all over
For a boy like you!

I've been lookin' round all over
For a sweet boy like you, doh-doh-doh-doh!
I've been a rover,
What else could I do?  Doh-doh-doh-doh!

But now that you know me,
What's my answer to be?
I've been lookin' round all over
For a sweet boy like you!
