Guys & Dolls I'll Know Lyrics

It is nice to know, Sarah, that somwhere in the world there's a guy who might appeal to you.
I wonder what this guy will be like.

He will not be a gambler!

I'm not interested in what he will not be, I'm interested in what he will be.

Don't worry, I'll know.

For I've imagined every bit of him
From his strong moral fiber to the wisdom in his head
To the homey aroma of his pipe

You have wished yourself a Scarsdale Galahad
The breakfast-eating, Brooks-brothers type

Yes, and I shall meet him when the time is right

You've got the guy all figured out.

I have.

Including what he smokes.
All figured out, huh?

All figured out.

I'll know when my love comes along
I won't take a chance
I'll know he'll be just what I need
Not some fly-by-night, Broadway romance
And you'll know at a glance by the two-pair of pants
I'll know by the calm steady voice
Those feet on the ground
I'll know as I run to his arms
That at last I've come home safe and sound
And 'til then, I shall wait
And 'til then, I'll be strong
Oh, I'll know, when my love comes along

No, no, no!
You're talking about love!
You can't dope it like that.
What are you picking, a guy or a horse?

I wouldn't expect a gambler to understand.

Would you like to hear how a gambler feels about the big heart throb?

No!

Well, I'll tell you.

Mine will come as a surprise to me
Mine I'll leave to chance and chemistry

Chemistry?

Yeah, chemistry.

Suddenly, I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know then and there
I'll know at the sight of her face
How I care, how I care, how I care
And I'll stop
And I'll stare
And I'll know long before we can speak
I'll know in my heart
I'll know and I won't ever ask
Am I right, am I wise, am I smart
And I'll stop
And I'll stare
At that face in the throng
Yes, I'll know when my love comes along

I'll know
When my love comes along

Maybe I'll drop in again, in case you want to take a crack at the other cheek.

I won't take a chance
I know he'll be just what I need
Not some fly-by-night, Broadway romance
And 'til then, I shall wait
And 'til then, I'll be strong
I'll know when my love comes along
