I guess I got romantic notions,
I need a love, a love like the ocean,
You look so sweet, you seem so fine,
Naturally, I wish you were mine.

She says "I don't know why you're wishing and hoping,
When you could be kaleidescopin'
No, I don't know why you're wishing and hoping,
When you could be kaleidescopin'
No, I don't know why."

Consider the lilies of the field, and how they grow,
I'm just like that, but I'm more slow,
I need a love that's tender and true,
I need a love, someone like you.

She says "I don't know why you're wishing and hoping,
When you could be kaleidescopin'
No, I don't know why you're wishing and hoping,
When you could be kaleidescopin'
No, I don't know why,
I don't know why."

I wish I had another life,
To show you how I feel,
I'm hoping that my luck is good,
I know my love is real.

Kaleidescopin'...
Kaleidescopin'...
