[CYNTHIA, spoken]
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)
He doesn't look like a movie star
He doesn't drive a Cadillac car
He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of
But he's sure the boy I love

[CYNTHIA & BARRY]
Let me tell you 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

[CYNTHIA]
I forget all of my dreams

[CYNTHIA & BARRY]
Everybody knows
He doesn't hang diamonds round my neck
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
He's sure the boy I love
He's sure the boy I love
