Song Lyrics

(Mary Wells version only):
Hey girls, you see these boys over there? Well, one of them is mine

He may not be the one who's handsome & tall, but
He's the one I love
Let me tell you now, his looks don't matter at all 'cause
He's the one I love
Now you may like the handsomest boy in the lot
& that's all right, but I'll keep the one I've got 'cause
He's the one I love
Let me tell ya, he's the one I love

He may not be the one with the fancy clothes, but
He's the one I love
He dresses all right, so goodness knows that
He's the one I love
Now you may like a guy who dresses hot
& that's all right, but I'll keep the one I've got 'cause
He's the one I love
Let me tell ya, he's the one I love

Now many a guy may give me the eye
Can offer me more than he
But if they offer the world
I'll still be his girl
& with him I'm gonna be, oooo oh yeah

He may not be the guy who talks a lot of stuff, but
He's the one I love
He tells me that he loves me & that's enough 'cause
He's the one I love
Now you may like a guy who talks a lot
& that's all right, but I'll keep the one I've got 'cause
He's the one I love
Let me tell ya, he's the one I love

(Tammi Terrell version only):
There's just somethin' about him
I just can't live without him
It may be his walk
...& fade
