Lyrics
- I’ve met lots of girlies who were just my style
Girls whose charms most any boy would share
Girls who captivate you with their roguish smile
Girls you think beyond compare
When I saw the lovelight in your eyes, sweetheart
When you smiled on me so tenderly
Mischief making Cupid pierced me with his dart
Something told me you were meant for me
Chorus
Some little something about you
Some little something, dear
Means I can’t live without you
I always want you near
Some hidden charm makes me love you
Something I cannot see
And I know one thing, some little something
Means you’re the girl for me
- Oft’ I’ve wondered if another boy like me
Thinks there’s something sweet about you too
I’ll admit it’s made me jealous as could be
That’s because I love you true
Then again, I thought of what the poets say
“Faint heart never won a lady fair”
So I don’t intend to wait another day
There’s a cozy home that we can share
