He's Sure the Boy I Love
Darlene Love Lyrics

I always dreamed the boy I loved would come along
Since long, I have always dreamed of my perfect partner being by my side.

And he'd be tall and handsome, rich and strong.
In my expectation, he would possess qualities like being tall, handsome, rich, and physically strong.

Now that boy I love has come to me,
Finally, the boy of my dreams has come into my life.

But he sure ain't the way I thought he'd be.
He, however, is not at all the exact replica of what I had imagined in my thoughts.

He doesn't look like a movie star,
He doesn't have looks like those of the actors I see on the big screen.

He doesn't drive a Cadillac car,
He doesn't possess a luxury car like a Cadillac.

He sure ain't the boy I've been dreamin' of,
He is nowhere near to the ideal partner I had always visualized in my head.

But he's sure the boy I love.
Regardless of my expectations, he is the one whom I have affection for.

Let me tell ya now,
Let me clarify this for you.

He' never be a big business man
He will never become a successful entrepreneur.

He always buys on the installment plan
He always prefers installment payment over lump-sum payment.

He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of,
His persona is not even close to the one I had dreamed of in my expectations.

But he's sure the boy I love.
Yet, I love him the way he is, with all his shortcomings.

When he holds me tight,
When he embraces me with all his love and affection,

Everything's right,
Everything around me starts feeling just perfect.

Crazy as it seems,
It may sound unreasonable and outlandish,

I'm his, whatever he is,
I belong to him, irrespective of the way he is in the world.

And I forget all of my dreams,
All my prior expectations and beliefs start appearing vague and meaningless.

And everybody knows
It's a widely known fact.

He doesn't hang diamonds round my neck,
He cannot afford expensive diamonds to gift me.

And all he's got's an unemployment check
The only source of income he has is the government's unemployment aid.

But he sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of,
He is nowhere near my imagination of an ideal lover.

But he's sure the boy I love.
But the feelings I harbor for him are genuine, even if he is not the Prince Charming of my dreams.

He's sure the boy I love.
He is the one who deserves my love and romances, even if the world doesn't approve of him.

The boy I love
He is the only one who lights up my life.

(He's the boy)
(Yes, he is the one.)

Yeah yeah he's the boy I love
I am in love with him, yes, without a doubt.

Yeah yeah he's the boy I love (oh yeah)
I mean it when I say I love him; he is special to me.
