I always dreamed the man 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 man I've been dreamin' of,
But he's sure the man I love.
He'll never be a big business man
He always buys on the installment plan
He sure ain't the man I've been dreamin' of,
But he's sure the man 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 that...
He doesn't hang diamonds round my neck,
And all he's got's an unemployment check
He sure ain't the man I've been dreamin' of,
But he's sure the man I love.
