I always dreamed the boy I loved would come along
And he'd be tall and handsome, rich and strong
But now that boy I love has come to me
But he sure ain't the way I thought he'd be
He sure ain't the boy I've been dreaming of
But he sure the boy I love
Never died for me
He'll never be a big business man
He always tries to be a stormy man
He sure ain't the boy I've been dreaming of
But he sure the boy I love
When he holds me tight
Everything's fine
Maybe as it seems
I'm his, whatever he is
And I forget all of my dreams
Everybody knows
He doesn't hang down the ground
But he's got a heart of stone

And all he's got is unemployment chains
He sure ain't the boy I've been dreaming of
But he sure the boy I love
He sure ain't the boy I love
When he holds me tight
Everything's fine
He's crazy as it seems
I'm his, whatever he is
And I forget all of my dreams
Everybody knows
He doesn't hang down the ground
But he sure ain't the boy I love
And all he's got is unemployment chains
He sure ain't the boy I love
I've been dreaming of, but you're the boy I love.
