SHE'S SURE THE GIRL I LOVE^©

Live 01 Aug 1976 version

[spoken 1st verse:]
You know, Clarence... I always dreamed the girl I loved would be mine
And she'd be rich, and famous, and super-fine
And then... Now she's a fine looking girl
But she sure ain't exactly what I expected

Well now she don't look like a movie star
She don't ride in no Cadillac car
She ain't the girl I was dreamin' of
She's sure the girl I love

She'd never go out with a business man
She always buys on the installment plan
She ain't the girl I was dreamin' of
But she's sure the girl I love

Because she holds me tight
Everything's alright
Crazy as it seems
I'm hers, whatever...
And I've forgotten all of my dreams

She doesn't hang diamonds round my neck
And all she's got's an unemployment check
She ain't the girl I was dreamin' of
But she's sure the girl I love

Oh baby

Because she holds me tight
And everything's alright
Crazy as it seems
I'm hers, whatever comes
And I've forgotten all of my dreams

She don't look like a movie star
She don't ride in no Cadillac car
She ain't the girl I was dreamin' of
She's sure the girl I love
Whoah
She's sure the girl I love
Whoah-whoah-whoah
She's sure the girl I love

This is Bruce Springsteen's version of The Crystals' HE'S SURE THE BOY I LOVE. As far as it's known, he performed the song only once, during the 1st leg of the "Lawsuit Tour", on 01 Aug 1976 at Monmouth Arts Centre, Red Bank, NJ. The above lyrics refer that live performance.

Thanks Jake (ol'catfishinthelake from BTX and Greasy Lake) for these lyrics.
