Let's Hear it for the Boy

Tonight while we were making dinner, my man started singing a blast from my past:

Let's hear it for the boy

Let's give the boy a hand

Let's hear it for my baby

You know you got to understand

Whoa, maybe he's no romeo

But he's my lovin one-man show

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Let's hear it for the boy

Loved the movie Footloose when I was a young thang -- and this song played a prominent role in the movie (at least in my memory it does). It's so fun for me to date someone who sings the songs of my youth (for the record, he'd just heard it on the radio, it wasn't on the internal jukebox). Looking at the lyrics, some of them don't fit (he's definitely Romeo) but some ring sorta true:

My baby may not be rich

He's watchin every dime

But he loves me loves me loves me

We always have a real good time

And maybe he sings off key

But that's alright by me

Because what he does he does so well

Makes me wanna yell

Let's hear it for the boy!

Indeed. I married a man who always had money and always sang on key, but I've never felt loved like this!
