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,
