He's Sure The Boy I Love lyrics - Bette Midler (duet with Darlene Love)

(originally by The Crystals)

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.

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,

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.

When he holds me tight,

Everythings right,

Crazy as it seems,

I'm his, whatever he is,

And I forget all of my dreams,

And everybody knows...

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.

When he holds me tight,

Everythings right,

Crazy as it seems,

I'm his, whatever he is,

And I forget all of my dreams,

And everybody knows...

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.

He's sure the boy I love

He's sure the boy I love...
