sometimes i wish i were a boy
Sometimes, yes sometimes I wish I were a boy  I'd 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, 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 the nerve to cut right in and stop it But a girl has to be polite  Now the record hop is over And I think he's caught my eye Here he comes heading straight in my direction There he goes, he's passing me by
