Looking for a Boy
In Search of Love: Ella Fitzgerald's Quest for Harmony
Lyrics
If it's true that love affairs are all arranged in heaven
If love affairs are predetermined in heaven
My guardian angel's holding out on me
Feeling like her guardian angel is not assisting in finding love
So I'm looking for a boy 'bout five foot six or seven
Searching for a boy of specific height (five foot six or seven)
And won't be happy till I'm on his knee
Expressing the desire to be close to the identified boy
I'll be blue until he comes my way
Feeling sad until the boy enters her life
Hope he takes the cue when I am sayin'
Hoping the boy understands her signals or words
I am just a little girl
Describing herself as a young girl
Who's looking for a little boy
In search of a young boy
Who's looking for a girl to love
The boy is also seeking a girl to love
Tell me please, where can he be
Asking where the boy she is looking for can be found
The loving he who'll bring to me
Desiring a loving partner who brings harmony
The harmony I'm dreamin' of?
Yearning for the ideal relationship and connection
It'll be goodbye, I know
Anticipating saying goodbye to her current state of sadness
To my tale of woe
Referring to her current troubles as a tale of woe
When he says hello
Expecting happiness when the boy greets her
So I am just a little girl
Reiterating her identity as a young girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Continuing the search for a young boy
Who's looking for a girl to love
Emphasizing that the boy is also seeking a girl to love
So, I am just a little girl
Repeating the description of herself as a young girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Continuing the quest for a young boy
Who's looking for a girl to love
Reiterating that the boy is searching for a girl to love
