[Verse:] When I was a kid And I wanted a doll I got it Don't ask how I did but when I was a kid And I wanted a doll I got it I carefully laid out a plan When I were a kid 'twas a doll And now it's a man [1st refrain:] I'm gonna get him, I'm gonna get him Instead of giving up and throwing in the towel I'm gonna keep on fighting fair or foul Until I get him, I'm gonna get him I'm gonna wear my jewels and my ermine wrap And if I have to drop my shoulder strap I'm gonna get him, I'm gonna get him And when I've got him where I think he oughta be I'm gonna love him, love him My mission in life will be to love him until he loves me [2nd refrain:] I'm gonna get him, I'm gonna get him I'll back him in a corner till he squirms and twists And if I must put handcuffs on his wrists I'm gonna get him, I'm gonna get him He'll know the facts of life and when he understands I'll put a shotgun in my father's hands And that'll get him, I'm gonna get him And when I've got him where I think he oughta be I'm gonna hug him, hug him I'll hug em and if I have to slug him He's gonna love, he's gonna love, he's gonna love me [Alternate Verse:] When you were a kid And you wanted a doll you got it Don't ask how you did but when you were a kid And you wanted a doll you got it You carefully laid out a plan When you were a kid 'twas a doll And now it's a man
