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,
