Sometimes I Wish I Were A Boy - #86 in 1964

(Sometimes ya sometimes I wish I were a boy)

I've been standing by the jukebox.

Hoping he'd asked me to dance.

How I wish I could run to him and hug him.

But a girl musn't make advance.

Oh-oh-oh I'm a girl and it's wonderfull.

It fills my heart with joy.

But sometimes ya' 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 I'm a girl and it's wonderfull.

It fills my heart with joy.

But sometimes ya' 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 I'm a girl and it's wonderfull.

It fills my heart with joy.

But sometimes ya sometimes I wish I were a bo-o-o-o-oy.

Sometimes ya sometimes I wish I were a bo-o-o-o-oy.

Sometimes ya sometimes I wish I were a boy.

Sometimes ya sometimes I wish I were a boy.

I love her use of the subjunctive case. Sarah Lawrence coming through!

silly feminist exlaiming her repressed penis envy for millions to hear and corrupt. Glad she's dead RIP

It's an excellent song, and I think she must have agreed, but she always hated it for its male chauvinist lyrics. But with changes in the text she could have made it more cynical. Perhaps you can't do that, something about the copyrights of the writer?

These were on the same record, hence they were released at the same time. In those days, Billboard charted B sides separately from A sides, they were on the charts simultaneously.

You and I must live in different dimensions. In mine, I'm seeing governors talk to female senators as though they're children who should just be letting Daddy make all the decisions for them.

This was the B side of "Hey Now" which charted first. When that only reached #76 they released "Sometimes I Wish I Were A Boy" which peaked at #86 in Nov 64.

This is the least timeless song I've heard in ages... Its so stuck in the early 60s that it sounds outdated for even the late 60s...

The beautiful thing about being with someone of the same gender for 23 years is that you learn it's okay to be a girl and love who you want to. I'm right there and hope Lesley and her partner are as happy as we've been allowed to be. We've come a long way . . . since, let's see, we were sweet 16 in 1964. It was a very good year!

Sometimes I Wish I Were A Boy is a song Lesley really didn't want to record but did so because her producer, Quincy Jones, asked her to. Another song she says she did not want to record is I STRUCK A MATCH (from her 2nd album, Lesley Gore Sings of Mixed-Up Hearts).

Everyone should, and I emphasize the word SHOULD, be free to follow their feelings and dreams and not worry what the rest of the world will think of them. Lesley, you go, girl!

she reminds me of Dusty Springfield who was also so pretty and with same sexual preferences as Lesley. Of course there's nothing wrong with that.

actually it was her last album in high school and she didn't realize she was a lesbian until college But I agree, it sucks that she had to hide it when there's nothing wrong with being a lesbian!

@musicmuse202 Lol you know where Lesley Gore got the idea for this song right? She just found out she was a lesbian, and she found out she couldn't do what she wanted, namely go after other girls. Therefor she wished she was a boy, so she could get with girls and nobody would frown upon her. Kinda sad she was so locked up in her taboo-filled time.
