I'll Know

I wonder what this guy will be like?

He will not be a gambler

I'm not interested in what he will not be

I am interested in what he will be

Don't worry, I'll know

For I've imagined every bit of him

From his strong moral fiber to the wisdom in his head

To the homey aroma of his pipe

You have wished yourself a Scarsdale Galahad

The breakfast-eating, Brooks Brothers type

Yes

And I shall meet him when the time is ripe

You got the guy all figured out

I have

Including what he smokes

All figured out, huh?

All figured out

I'll know when my love comes along

I won't take a chance

For oh, he'll be just what I need

Not some fly-by-night Broadway romance

And you'll know at a glance

By the two pair of pants

I'll know by the calm steady voice

Those feet on the ground

I'll know as I run to his arms

That at last I've come home safe and sound

And 'til then, I shall wait

And 'til then, I'll be strong

For I'll know when my love comes along

No, no, no, you're talking about love

You can't dope it like that

What are you picking, a guy or a horse?

I wouldn't expect a gambler to understand

Would you like to hear how a gambler feels

About the big heart throb?

No

Well, I'll tell you

Mine will come as a surprise to me

Mine I'll leave to chance and chemistry

Chemistry?

Yeah, chemistry

Suddenly I'll know when my love comes along

I'll know then and there

I'll know at the sight of her face

How I care, how I care, how I care

And I'll stop and I'll stare

And I'll know, long before we can speak

I'll know in my heart

I'll know and I won't ever ask

"Am I right, am I wise, am I smart?"

But I'll stop and I'll stare

At that face in the throng

Yes, I'll know when my love

Comes along (I'll know)

When my love comes along

I'll drop in again

In case you want to take a crack at the other cheek

I won't take a chance

My love will be just what I need

Not some fly-by-night Broadway romance

And 'til then, I shall wait

And 'til then, I'll be strong

For I'll know when my love comes along
