[Verse 1]
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A boy to hold in my arms
And feel the magic of his charms

[Chorus]
Because I want a boy
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

[Verse 2]
Dream lover, where are you?
With a love, oh, so true
And a hand that I can hold
Through the years as I grow old

[Chorus]
Because I want (I want) a boy (I want a boy)
To call (I can call) my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

[Bridge]
Someday, I don't know how
I hope that you'll hear my plea
Someway, I don't know how
He'll bring his love to me
[Verse 3]
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Until my lover's dreams come true

[Chorus]
Because I want (I want) a boy (I want a boy)
To call (I can call) my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
Because I want (I want) a boy (I want a boy)
To call (I can call) my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

[Outro]
I don't want to dream alone
Please don't make me dream alone
I don't want to dream, dream, dream alone
No
I don't want to dream, dream, dream alone
I don't want to
I don't want to dream, dream, dream alone
No
I don't want to dream, dream, dream alone
I don't want to
