lyrics

I met a boy the other day
He swept me off my feet
He took my breath away
But he didn't notice me
Oh no!
I met a boy the other day
I said "honey, be my love"
He just blushed and turned away
And I swore to the lord above

I'll get you anyhow
It's just a matter of time
I'm gonna make you mine
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
C'mon baby don't be shy
When you're looking mighty fine
I swear that you'll be mine
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes

I met a boy the other day
And I tried everything
To make him look my way
But it's proving quite a feat
Oh no!
I tried to be demure
I tried to play it cool
But when he seems so unsure
It's got me looking like a fool

I'll get you anyhow
It's just a matter of time
I'm gonna make you mine
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
C'mon baby don't be shy
When you're looking mighty fine
I swear that you'll be mine
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes

I met a boy the other day
And I fell like a stone
I asked him to come away
But I went home alone
Oh no!
But I won't be deterred
No, I won't be depressed
I know it seems absurd
But I can't stop when I'm so obsessed

I'll get you anyhow
It's just a matter of time
I'm gonna make you mine
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
C'mon baby don't be shy
When you're looking mighty fine
I swear that you'll be mine
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes

I'll get you anyhow
It's just a matter of time
I'm gonna make you mine
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
