One Fine Day

Natalie Merchant

One fine day, you'll look at me
And you will know our love was, meant to be
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
The arms I long for, will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me, right by your side
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
Though I know you're the kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting, and, someday darling
You'll come to me when you want to settle down,
Oh!
One fine day, we'll meet once more
And then you'll want the love you threw away before
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl

    General CommentSuch a beautiful song. I can really connect with it too - this boy I'm somewhat 'seeing' at the moment..well for the past year he's been the guy she's talking about in the song - "I know you're
    kind of a boy
    who only wants to run around..." He was never one to settle down with anybody. We both wanted eachother but he couldn't commit. But now the 'one fine day' has come + he's realised he wants me 'for his girl'
    This song is the title track to the movie 'One Fine Day'

    General CommentWhen you first hear this song it sounds like a little bubblegum oldies pop song. But it's actually a really powerful and meaningful song with a good point, it shows the power women should really have. Who needs this guy anyways!! It's his loss!
