I’m just a plain old ordinary girl, looking for the right guy
And I could spend my whole life home, cooking for the right guy
Some girls want a guy with money, some want a guy who’s fine
But I’ll let a guy be my honey if he shows me that he’s mine all mine all mine
(Looking for the right guy)
I caught a lovely boy next door, and he would be my last guy
(He would be my last guy)
He was a guy who made a grade before every girl that passed by
(Every girl that passed by)
I wonder how he’s made his mind up
His rolling days are over
Don’t wanna be a girl who winds up
Falling in love with a casanova, no, no
(Looking for the right guy)
The next guy I date will have to rate this torch I’m gonna carry
He’ll have to be a man of quality, not just any Tom, Dick or Harry
I’ll give my all and all, but only for the right guy
(Only for the right guy)
‘Cause I know I’m gonna fall, but only for the right guy
(Only for the right guy)
I know he’s gonna my way, and loving him is my fate
Every time I think about that day, I get so excited I can hardly wait
For the right guy
Yeah (For the right guy)
Uh-huh, just a plain old ordinary girl, looking for the right guy
Yeah yeah yeah, I’m just a plain old ordinary girl
Looking for the right guy
And I could spend my whole life home, cooking for the right guy
Some girls want a guy with money, some want a guy who’s fine
But I’ll let a guy be my honey if he shows me that he’s mine all mine all mine
