[Verse 1]
Well, I've made me a fortune, that fortune made ten
I've been headlined and profiled again and again
But something was missing, I never quite knew
That something was someone, but who?
My speeches are greeted with thunderous acclaim
At two universities bearing my name
Yet something was missing each time I got through
That something was someone, but who?

[Chorus]
Who could that someone be?
How could she make it known?
Who would need me for me?
Need me for me alone?
Her world was my oyster
Where was the pearl?
Who dreamed I could find it in one little girl?
Yes, something was missing
But dreams can come true
That something is no one, but you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Now who could let someone be
Who could she make it known?
Who would need me for me?
Need me for me alone
The world was my oyster
But where was the pearl?
Who'd dream I would find it in one little girl?
Yes, something was missing
But dreams can come true
That something is no one, but you
