Lyrics
Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la sha la la Sha la la la la la la la Sha la la sha la la
I want a boy for my birthday That's what I've been dreaming of I won't have a happy birthday Without a boy to love
Don't want a bracelet with golden charms Because that won't fill my empty arms Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah I want a boy to love
Sha la la la la la la la (oh oh oh) Sha la la sha la la
I want a boy for my birthday That's the present that I need the most Just a boy for my birthday One who'll love to hold me close Doesn't matter if he's short or tall Just as long as he gives his all Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah I want a boy to love
I want a boy who's gonna treat me right (yeah yeah yeah) Hug me, kiss me, squeeze me day and night
I want a boy for my birthday He doesn't have to be too smart Just as long as he loves me And keeps me in his heart I want a boy to comfort me And treat me tenderly Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah I want a boy to love
Sha la la la la la la la (I want a boy to love) Sha la la sha la la (I want a boy for my birthday)
