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



Sha la la, la la, yeah, yeah yeah

Sha la la, la la, yeah, yeah yeah

Sha la la, la la, yeah, yeah yeah

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 you now



He never be a big business man

He always buys all 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 everything's 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 is unemployment cheque

He sure ain't the boy I 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, oh



He doesn't hang diamonds 'round my neck

And all he's got an unemployment cheque

He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of

But he's sure the boy I love, oh yeah



He's sure the boy I love

He's sure the boy I love

He's sure the boy I love

He's sure the boy I love
