Where the boys are Someone waits for me, A smiling face, a warm embrace, Two arms to hold me tenderly Where the boys are My true love will be, He's walking down some street in town And I know he's looking there for me In the crowd of a million people I'll find my valentine, Then I'll climb to the highest steeple And tell the world he's mine 'Til he holds me I wait impatiently Where the boys are, where the boys are Where the boys are, someone waits for me 'Til he holds me I wait impatiently. Where the boys are, where the boys are Where the boys are, someone waits for me
