Lyrics Lesley Gore

Lesley Gore

Sometimes I wish I were a boy

Sometimes, ya sometimes, I wish I were a boy!

I've been standing by the jukebox

Hoping he'd asked me to dance

How I wish I could run to him and hug him

But a girl musn't make advance

Oh-oh-oh, I'm a girl and it's wonderfull

It fills my heart with joy

but sometimes, ya' sometimes, I wish I were a boy

Oh he's dancing with another

And he's holding her so tight

Wish I had nerve to cut right in and stop it

But a girl has to be polite

Oh-oh-oh, I'm a girl and it's wonderfull

It fills my heart with joy

but sometimes, ya' sometimes, I wish I were a boy

Now the record hop is over

And I think he caught my eye

Here he comes heading straight in my direction

There he goes he's passing me by

Oh-oh-oh I'm a girl and it's wonderfull

It fills my heart with joy

But sometimes, ya sometimes, I wish I were a boy

Sometimes, ya sometimes, I wish I were a boy

Sometimes, ya sometimes, I wish I were a boy

Sometimes, ya sometimes, I wish I were a boy!
