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
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.
Verse one
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.
Verse two
(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
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
Verse Three
(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
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
Verse four
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
(Ooohh, oohh, oohh, ooohhh, yeah) he's sure the boy I love
(Ooohh, oohh, oohh, ooohhh, yeah) he's sure the boy I love
(Whooaaa, ho, ho, ho) he's sure the boy I love
(Whooaaa, ho, ho, ho ) he's sure the boy I love (Fade)
