There's a spark of magic in your eyes
Candyland appears each time you smile (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Never thought that fairy tales came true
But they come true when I'm near you
You're a genie in disguise (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Full of wonder and surprise
And betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong
If I could I'd catch a falling star
To shine on you so I'll know where you are (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Order rainbows in your favorite shade
To show I love you, thinking of you
Write your name across the sky (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Anything you ask, I'll try
'Cause betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong...
Another version of "Betcha by Golly, Wow!" was released by American musician Prince (his stage name at that time being a symbol with no known pronunciation, see cover art) on his 20th album, Emancipation (1996). Prince had stated that he always wanted to release his own version but his record company, Warner Bros. Records, had not permitted it. The CD single was released in two formats in the UK, one with a picture sleeve and one with an orange cardboard sleeve that included a picture disc and a mini-poster. The song was also issued on cassette.
