Lyrics

I 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

(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'll never be a big business man

Well

He always buys on the installment plan

Yeah

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

He ain't got none

And all he's got is unemployment checks

Yeah, 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)

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 who cares if all he's got is unemployment checks

He sure ain't the boy I 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)

Whoa, the boy, the boy, the boy I love

(He's sure the boy I love)

The boy I love

He's the boy

Yeah, yeah he's the boy I love

Yeah, yeah he's the boy I love

(He's sure the boy I love)
