I always dreamed the boy I loved would come along And he'd be tall and handsome, rich and strong Now, that boy I love has come to me But he sure ain't the way I thought he'd be (He's sure the boy I love) He doesn't look like a movie star He doesn't drive a Cadillac car He sure ain't the boy I've been dreamin' of But he's sure the boy I love Let me tell ya now He'd never be a big business man He always buys on the installment plan He sure ain't the boy I've been dreamin' of But he's sure the boy I love When he holds me tight Everything's right Crazy as it seems I'm his, whatever he is And I forget all of my dreams But everybody knows that he doesn't hang diamonds 'round my neck And all he's got is an unemployment check He sure ain't the boy I've been dreamin' of But he's sure the boy I love When he holds me tight Everything's right Crazy as it seems I'm his, whatever he is And I forget all of my dreams He doesn't hang diamonds 'round my neck And all he's got is an unemployment check He sure ain't the boy I've been dreamin' of But he's sure the boy I love But he's sure the boy I love (oh oh oh, yeah) But he's sure the boy I love (oh oh oh, yeah) But he's sure the boy I love (oh oh oh, yeah) But he's sure the boy I love (oh oh oh, yeah)
