Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I’ve been waiting for someone
Who would be
All I could desire
To set my heart afire
You’re that very same someone
Honestly! Honey, you’re just “it”
You’re one terrific hit
Chorus
You’re just about right for me
You absolutely suit me to a “T”
You fit to the letter
You couldn’t be better
You’re just about right for me
I never thought I would see
A person with your personality
The line that you hand out
With me is a “stand-out”
You’re just about right for me
From your head to your toes
You didn’t leave out one detail
And your eyes! and your nose!
Looks like Cupid’s readin’ my mail
It’s just about time for me
To tell you what your future’s gonna be
I’m bookin’ you steady
So, honey, get ready
You’re just about right for me
- I’ve met many a sweet one
In my day
But I passed them by
And I will tell you why
You’re the sweetiest sweet one
And I’ll say
I’ve decided now
You’re that for me and how
