sometimes yes sometimes
i wish i were a boy
i’ve been standing by the jukebox
hoping he’d ask me to dance
how i wish i could run to him and hug him
but a girl musn’t make an advance
oh oh oh oh i’m a girl and it’s wonderful
it fills my heart with joy
but sometimes yes 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 oh i’m a girl and it’s wonderful
it fills my heart with joy
but sometimes yes 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 oh i’m a girl and it’s wonderful
it fills my heart with joy
but sometimes yes sometimes
i wish i were a boy
sometimes yes sometimes
i wish i were a boy
