Yeah
Yeah
Woow woow
Woow woow whoo
Yeah

She is in my head like a nightmare
Shutup every club, I can′t find her
Never been a fool, 'cuz I like her
You know outta ten, she′s on fire

I don't wanna waste your time
You know, I want you on to waste my time
To get you, ooh, I make you feel alive
Baby the one, can't get you out my mind
You are my nightmare

Yeah she the killer in the scenes of my nightmares
Surely want a king, I be right, yeah
Probably sinner on a screen and she be thinking she a queen
Tryin to figure what it mean for a lightyear
Voice stuck in my head, smell is still stuck in my bed
Trippin′ on things that you said, go wake up and dead
See, I don′t wanna wait one another
I'm scared thinking that I found my lover
20 yards drinks still warm my dreams
25 years to my life, it seems
She grab hold, took a whole lot of life from me
Yeah I′m tryin to leave, I swear its ice cold for me
I can't seem to get her out my head, she′ll be right there
She's on fire, she stole my soul, yeah, she is

She is in my head like a nightmare
Shutup every club, I can′t find her
Never been a fool, 'cuz I like her
You know outta ten, she's on fire

You are my nightmare

You are my nightmare

You are my nightmare

Yeah, yeah, wo-oow

She is in my head like a nightmare
Shutup every club, I can′t find her
Never been a fool, ′cuz I like her
You know outta ten, she's on fire

I don′t wanna waste your time
You know, I want you on to waste my time
To get you, ooh, I make you feel alive
Baby the one, can't get you out my mind
You are my nightmare

Yeah Imma never get sleep
Runnin, by the same dog street
Runnin ′round my head all week, she a god damn freak
Body got me locked in deep
Bet I'm terrified of heights this steep
Thought I saw her in my dreams
But its clear now, I met her in my nightmares
She′s a figure of my war spheres right here
I dont wanna need her, wanna want her, wanna feed her
Turn a squarter to a needer, but I gotta, can't defeat it
Yeah, always said that I would never fall
Hard the stand, I got bed betrol
Tried to quit, I got head withdrawal
I got a list of problems, dont care if she falls

I heard no soulman say yes
'Lil devil on a shortcut, all white trash
She can turn your whole life to a great big mess
Still see her in my nightmares, can′t get rest

She is in my head like a nightmare
Shutup every club, I can′t find her
Never been a fool, 'cuz I like her
You know outta ten, she′s on fire
You are my nightmare

You are my nightmare





You are my nightmare
