| SPOKEN:
|
| Always dreamed the boy I love 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, hey hey hey
|
| Sha-la-la-la-la, hey hey hey
|
| Sha-la-la-la-la, hey hey hey
|
| 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 dreaming of but
|
| He’s sure the boy I love
|
| Let me tell ya now
|
| He’d never be a big businessman
|
| He always buys on the installment plan
|
| He sure ain’t the boy I’ve been dreaming 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, oh-oh
|
| And all he’s got’s an unemployment check
|
| He sure ain’t the boy I’ve been dreaming of but
|
| He’s sure the boy I love
|
| INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
|
| 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-oh-oh-oh
|
| He doesn’t hang diamonds round my neck
|
| And all he’s got’s an unemployment check
|
| He sure ain’t the boy I’ve been dreaming of but
|
| He’s sure the boy I love
|
| He’s sure the boy I love
|
| He’s sure the boy I love
|
| (repeat and fade out) |
