Lyrics
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)
