This is from the 1968 Original Broadway cast recording of the musical Promises Promises by Hal David and Burt Bacharach. This song features the two main characters played by Jerry Orbach and Jill O'Hara.

The lyrics are as follows:

Fran:
I could take up knitting to feel better
I'd make someone a hand-knit sweater
But I just don't know who that someone should be

Chuck:
If you can't think of anyone else
How about maybe, someone
Like for example, perhaps, someone
Oh, you'll think of someone

Fran:
I could take up tennis to relax me
A game of doubles wouldn't tax me
But I just don't know who my partner should be

Chuck:
If you can't think of anyone else
How about maybe, someone
Like for example, perhaps, someone
Oh, you'll think of someone

Both:
Who likes you and the things you like to do
Happy little things like climbing hills
And rowing boats on a lake
Fun is something that is yours to take

Fran:
I could take up painting to amuse me
A portrait picture might enthuse me
But I just don't know who my model should be

Chuck:
You can bet there's someone around

Fran:
Someone to talk to, laugh with
Like for example dance with, sing to...

Chuck:
Cling to...
When you think about that someone
Who could it be
How about me?
