Somebody loves me, I wonder who
I wonder who he can be
Somebody loves me, I wish I knew
Who can he be worries me

For every boy who passes me, I shout ‘Hey, maybe’
You were meant to be my loving baby, baby, oh
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
Maybe it’s you

For every boy who passes me, I shout ‘Hey, maybe’
You were meant to be my loving baby, baby

Somebody loves me, I wonder who
Maybe, it’s
Baby, it’s
Maybe, baby, that somebody is you

as rec by Dinah Shore w Leonard Joy & his Band  1940


When the world began,
It was heaven's plan
There should be a girl for every single man.
To my great regret,
Someone has upset
Heaven's pretty programme, for we've never met!

Somebody loves me,
I wonder who,
I wonder who he can be.
Somebody loves me,
I wish I knew,
Who can he be worries me.

For every boy who passes by I shout "Hey!  Maybe
You were meant to be my loving baby!".
Somebody loves me,
I wonder who,
Maybe it's you!

I wonder who he can be.

Who can he be worries me.

For every boy who passes by I shout "Hey!  Maybe
You were meant to be my loving baby!".
Somebody loves me,
I wonder who,
Baby, maybe it's you!
