Sometimes I Wish I Were A Boy - Lesley Gore

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
