You'll Know When The Right Boy Comes Along

The Shirelles


My mother told me the day would come 
When I would want to love someone 
She sat me down on her knee 
& this is what she said to me: 

She said "You'll know when the right boy comes along 
You won't necessarily be weak or strong 
Your heart'll skip & your knees'll get weak 
Oh you'll know he's the one when you hear him speak 
& the first time he tells you you're gonna know 
He was well worth waiting for 
Don't you worry, now don't you cry, don't you worry" 

She said "You'll know when the right boy comes along 
You won't necessarily be weak or strong" 

Will he be mine? I wanna know if the boy to find 
"& the only way you'll know if his love is true 
Is when he's gonna tell you he'll love only you 
So don't you worry, now don't you cry, don't you worry" 

"All the stars in the sky gonna shine very bright 
All the night in his arms hold you tight 
Chapel bells gonna ring & the birds gonna sing 
So till you're asking older days (remember what your mama say)" 

(repeat verse 1) 

Don't you worry, now don't you cry,
