Sometimes I Wish I Were A Boy Lyrics
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
I wish I were a boy
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
It fills my heart with joy
I wish I were a boy
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
It fills my heart with joy
But sometimes, yes sometimes
I wish I were a boy
And I think he caught my eye
Here he comes heading straight in my direction
There he goes, he`s passing me by
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

cheesy chorus but a really good song. It speaks the truth about dating in the sixties. Girls couldn't ask boys on a date/out/to dance or anything they had to send subliminal messages to the boys to get a date.
