Lyrics
Refrain
Dozens and dozens of girls I have met
Sisters and cousins of men in my set
Tried to be cheerful and give them an earful
Of soft sort of talk, but oh, gosh
The strain was something fearful
Always found after a minute or two
Just to be civil was all I could do
Now I know why I could never be contented
I was looking for a pal like you
Refrain
I’ve known so many, such hundreds of men
Didn’t like any except now and then
Flirted a minute, ’twas fun to begin it
But found out quite soon there was
Nothing, nothing, nothing in it
Often and often I used to get blue
Just went on flirting for something to do
Now I know why I’d that sense of something missing
I was looking for a pal like you
