Lyrics

One Fine Day

[Intro]

(Shooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-do-bop-bop)

(Shooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-do-bop-bop)

[Verse 1]

One fine day, you'll look at me

And you will know our love was meant to be

[Chorus]

One fine day

You're gonna want me for your girl

[Post-Chorus]

(Shooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-do-bop-bop)

(Shooby-dooby-do-wah) Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]

The arms I long for will open wide

And you'll be proud to have me

Right by your side

[Chorus]

One fine day

You're gonna want me for your girl

[Instrumental Break feat. Sax]

[Chorus]

One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl

(One fine day)

Oh

(You're gonna want me, one fine)

One fine day

(One fine day)

Oh, yeah

(You're gonna want me, one fine)

One fine day

(One fine day)

Oh, yeah

(You're gonna want me, one fine)

One fine day

(One fine day)

Oh, yeah

(You're gonna want me, one fine)

One fine day

(One fine day)

Oh, yeah

(You're gonna want me, one fine)...
