I always dreamed the boy I loved would come alongAnd he'd be tall and handsome, rich and strongBut now that boy I love has come to meBut he sure ain't the way I thought he'd beHe sure ain't the boy I've been dreaming ofBut he sure the boy I loveNever died for meHe'll never be a big business manHe always tries to be a stormy manHe sure ain't the boy I've been dreaming ofBut he sure the boy I loveWhen he holds me tightEverything's fineMaybe as it seemsI'm his, whatever he isAnd I forget all of my dreamsEverybody knowsHe doesn't hang down the groundBut he's got a heart of stoneAnd all he's got is unemployment chainsHe sure ain't the boy I've been dreaming ofBut he sure the boy I loveHe sure ain't the boy I loveWhen he holds me tightEverything's fineHe's crazy as it seemsI'm his, whatever he isAnd I forget all of my dreamsEverybody knowsHe doesn't hang down the groundBut he sure ain't the boy I loveAnd all he's got is unemployment chainsHe sure ain't the boy I loveI've been dreaming of, but you're the boy I love.
