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 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'd never be a big business man He always buys on the installment plan He sure ain't the boy I've been dreamin' of But he's sure the boy I love When he holds me tight Everythings right Crazy as it seems I'm his, whatever he is And I forget all of my dreams And everybody knows that 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 dreamin' of But he's sure the boy I love When he holds me tight Everythings right Crazy as it seems I'm his, whatever he is And I forget all of my dreams 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 dreamin' of But he's sure the boy I love
