Intro
(Spoken: ad lib:)
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.
(SUNG:)
Sha-la, la, la, la..yea, hey, hey..
Sha-la, la, la, la..yea, hey, hey..
Sha-la, la, la, la..yea, 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 dreamin' of..
but he's sure the boy I love.
(Let me tell ya now)..he'll never be a big business man.
He always buys on the installment plan.
He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of..
but, he's sure the boy I love.
Chorus
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's an unemployment check.
He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of..
but, he's sure the boy I love.
