Find Me A Boy

Lyrics

Transcribed by Antoine Boude

So many friends that I happen to see
have been steadily falling in love
oh how I wish it could happen to me
and I'm asking the stars up above

won't you find me a boy, just a nice looking boy
who will show me the way, who will teach me to say
"I love you, yes I do", and who'll promise me too
that he'll always be true, so that I'll never be blue

I just wish for a gentle boy
someone who's sweet and kind
just a nice sentimental boy
that's all that I'm really longing to find

so many friends that I happen to see
have been telling me all about love
oh how I wish it could happen to me
is the only thing I'm thinking of

so I'll find me a boy, just a nice looking boy
who will show me the way, who will teach me to say
"I love you, yes I do", and who'll promise me too
that he'll always be true, so that I'll never be blue

so I'll find me a boy, just a nice looking boy
who will show me the way, who will teach me to say
"I love you, yes I do", and who'll promise me too
that he'll always be true, so that I'll never be blue

Trivia

Françoise Hardy wrote the song on her own, but at that time, in France, you had to pass an exam to prove you can compose a song alone, and to be registered as a composer. As she was only an instinctive guitarist, she had to co-write the music with her orchestrator. The english adaptation was written by someone named Stellman. The original title is "Tous les garçons et les filles". It was the very first Françoise Hardy EP, released back in 1962, and one of her major hits 'til today. The Eurythmics covered it when they played Bercy, in Paris, before the band split up. Françoise, who was in the audience, was very sincerely moved. Etienne Daho covered himself a few Françoise Hardy songs. He's a fan of hers, and they recorded two duets together. Thanks to Pierre Fageolle for this additional information!
