Artist/Band: Supremes
Lyrics for Song: The Boy From Ipanema
Lyrics for Album: There's A Place For Us [2004]



(Jobim/Gimble/DeMoraes)



Oh, how I love him



But he just doesn't see



Tall and tan and young and handsome



The boy from Ipanema goes walking



And when he passes



Each girl he passes goes - ah



When he walks



He's like a samba



That swings so cool and sways so gentle



That when he passes each girl



He passes goes - ah



Ooh, but I watch him so sadly



How can I tell him I love him



Yes I would give my heart gladly



But each day



When he walks to the sea



He looks straight ahead, not at me



Tall, and tan, and young and handsome



The boy from Ipanema goes walking



And when he passes goes - ah



I smile - but he doesn't see (doesn't see)



He just doesn't see, he never sees me


The Boy From Ipanema

Supremes deliver a polished rendition of 'The Boy From Ipanema' on their 2004 compilation 'There's A Place For Us.' This track captures the group's signature vocal harmony and smooth R&B style, reimagining the classic songwriting of Tom Adair and Johnny Burke. The recording showcases the Detroit-based vocalists' ability to blend soulful delivery with a sophisticated arrangement that honors the original's romantic atmosphere. While the song was originally recorded by the Brazilian bossa nova group The Bossa Boys, the Supremes' version remains a standout example of their mid-to-late career output, reflecting their commitment to covering timeless standards with their unique musical identity.
