Got an angel on my shoulder Got a penny in my pocket And I found a four leaf clover And I put it in my locket Wished on all the stars above me And I caught the nearest rainbow Gonna find someone to love me Gonna find someone to love Well I tossed a lot of nickels in the wishing well And saved the fortunes that the fortune cookies tell I got a lucky penny and a mustard seed But a warm and tender love is all I need And I want a love that lingers And a strong one through and through So I'm gonna cross my fingers That I'll find a boy who loves me true And I'm gonna love him too Well I tossed a lot of nickels in the wishing well And saved the fortunes that the fortune cookies tell I got a lucky penny and a mustard seed But a warm and tender love is all I need And I want a love that lingers And a strong one through and through So I'm gonna cross my fingers That I'll find a boy who loves me true And I'm gonna love him too
