I always dreamed the boy I loved would come along
And he'd be tall and handsome, rich and strong
Now, the boy I love has come to me
And he sure ain't the way I thought he would be

He don't look like a movie star
He don't drive a Cadillac car
He sure ain't the boy I've been dreamin' of
But he's sure the boy I love

Now everybody knows that
He'd never be a big business man
He’ll always buy a reinstalment plan
He surе ain't the boy I've been dreamin' of
But hе'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

Now everybody knows that
He don't hang diamonds round my neck
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
Everything’s right
Crazy as it seems
I'm his, whatever he is
And I forget all of my dreams

Now everybody knows that
He don't hang diamonds round my neck
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
