Spoken:
I always dreamed the boy I loved would come along.
(Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.)
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, yay-yay-yay.)
(Sha-la-la-la-la, yay-yay-yay.)
(Sha-la-la-la-la, yay-yay-yay.)
(He's sure the boy I love.)

Backup repeats, "Sha-la-la-la-la, yay-yay-yay,"
over the first 3 lines of all the verses:

Verse 1:
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,

Verse 2:
He' 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 everybody knows,

Verse 3:
He doesn't hang diamonds 'round my neck, wo-oh.
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.

Chorus:
When he holds me tight everything's right,
Crazy as it seems.
I'm his, whatever he is.
And I forget ah-all of my dreams,
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh.

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.

Wo-oh-oh, yeah.
(He's sure the boy I love.)
Wo-oh-oh, yeah.
(He's sure the boy I love.)
Fade.
Wo-oh-oh, oh-yeah.
(He's sure the boy I love.)
Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-yeah...
