Lyrics
He’s so fine (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
Wish he were mine (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
That handsome boy over there (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
The one with the wavy hair (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
I don’t know how I’m gonna do it (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
But I’m gonna make him mine (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
He’s the envy of all the girls (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
It’s just a matter of time (doo-lang-doo-lang)
He’s a soft-spoken guy (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
Also, seems kinda shy (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
Makes me wonder if I (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
Should even give him a try (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
But then I know he can’t shy (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
He can’t shy away forever (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
And I’m gonna make him mine (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
If it takes me forever (doo-lang-doo-lang)
He’s so fine (oh-yeah), gotta be mine (oh-yeah)
Sooner or later (oh-yeah), I hope it’s not later (oh-yeah)
We got to get together (oh-yeah), the sooner, the better (oh-yeah)
I just can’t wait, I just can’t wait to be held in his arms
If I were a queen (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
And he asked me to leave my throne (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
I’d do anything that he asked (doo-lang-doo-lang-doo-lang)
Anything to make him my own (doo-lang-do-lang-do-lang)
For he’s so fine (so fine), so fine (so fine)
So fine (so fine), so fine (so fine)
So fine (so fine), oh-yeah (so fine)
So fine (so fine), uh-huh (so fine)
So fine (so fine)
