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 beSha 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 loveHe 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 nowHe 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 loveWhen 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 knowsHe 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 loveWhen he holds me tight everything's right
Crazy as it seems I'm his, whatever he is
And I forget all of my dreams, ohHe 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 yeahHe'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
