CINDERELLA JONES
(Jerry Lordan / Thomas Mould)

as recorded by Petula Clark
with Johnny Keating's
Orchestra & Chorus
1960


Cinderella Jones,
Sittin' all alone;
I can hear the other girls
Talkin' to the boys on the telephone,
Makin' dates, but I just stay at home!

Everyone I know
Seems to be in love.
I can see them come and go,
Hand in hand,
It's hard to understand,
Why must I be Cinderella Jones?

Each night I lie awake,
Talkin' to the moon,
"Send me down a boy to love,
Send me someone soon!"

Wonder how it feels
When you fall in love;
I wonder how you know it's real,
Wonder if it shows,
I guess I'll never know.
I'm lookin' for a boy
Who's lookin' for a girl like me!

Each night I lie awake,
A-talkin' to the moon,
"Oh, send me down a boy to love,
Send me someone soon!"

Wonder how it feels
When you fall in love;
I wonder how you know it's real,
I wonder if it shows,
I guess I'll never know.
I'm lookin' for a boy
Who's lookin' for a girl like me!
Ooh, lookin for a boy
Who's lookin' for a girl like me!
Yeah, lookin for a boy Who's lookin for...
