Lyrics[]
- what's the use of wond'rin'
- if he's good or if he's bad
- or if you like the way he wears his hat
- oh, what's the use of wond'rin'
- if he's good or if he's bad
- he's your fella and you love him
- that's all there is to that
- common sense may tell you
- that the ending will be sad
- and now's the time to break and run away
- but what's the use of wond'rin'
- if the ending will be sad
- he's your fella and you love him
- there's nothing more to say
- something made him the way that he is
- whether he's false or true
- and something gave him
- the things that are his
- one of those things is you
- so when he wants your kisses
- you will give them to the lad
- and anywhere he leads you, you will walk
- and any time he needs you
- you'll go running there like mad
- you're his girl and he's your fella
- and all the rest is talk
