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 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' never be a big business man He always buys on the installment plan He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of, But he's sure the boy I love. When he holds me tight, Everythings right, Crazy as it seems, I'm his, whatever he is, And I forget all of my dreams, And everybody knows... He doesn't hang diamonds round my neck, And all he's got's an unemployment check He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of, But he's sure the boy I love.
