Original The Ronettes version
I want him, and I need him
And someday someway, whoa whoa whoa, I'll meet him
He'll be kind of shy, and real good looking too
And I'll be certain he's my guy by the things he'll like to do
Like walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars up above (and wishing on the stars)
And being so in love
When he's near me, I'll kiss him
And when he leaves me, whoa whoa whoa, I'll miss him
Though sometimes we'll fight, I won't really care
And I'll know it's gonna be alright 'cause we've got so much we share
Like walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars up above (and wishing on the stars)
And being so in love
(Johnny), no no he'll never do
(Bobby), no it isn't him too
They would never, no they'd never never ever love
Walking in the rain (like walking in the rain)
And wishing on the stars up above (and wishing on the stars)
And being so in love
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Where can he be
Oh oh oh
I've been wishing and hoping
Where can he be
[Fades out]
