Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, look what you done started
Fuck you in the shower or the counter, we got options
Put it all on you tonight, yeah
You know that it's on sight, ohh (yeah)

I'm the reason you keep coming back, girl, you fiendin'
I'm addicted to the way you ride it when you screaming
Tryna touch your soul when I'm all in it, can you feel me?
Yeah, and I don't care who hears us
Baby, I want you to scream

But not in a bad way (bad way)
Put you to bed early
I'ma take you to a new place
Close your eyes and go to sleep
I ain't talking 'bout a nightmare (no)
And I been waiting all day (all day)
So don't hold backe, babe
Baby, I want you to dream, dream

You gon' see me, baby, when I make you dream

Body drippin', I'm a star leaking
Wanna taste all of your flavors

And we don't have to tell nobody

Tryna touch your soul when I'm all in it, can you feel me?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Brown's song "Dream" tell the story of a hopeful, yet cautious romantic yearning for a love that seems too good to be true. The singer meets a girl with blue eyes that he loves truly and believes will never leave him. They go to a picture show, holding hands and sharing a kiss in the dark. The singer knows that their love is real and feels confident that she loves him too, yet he repeatedly warns himself to "dream on" because he fears that she'll break his heart. Despite his worries, he decides that he wants to marry her and hopes that they will never be apart.


This song captures the essence of a common human experience - the fear of getting hurt in a relationship, and the hope for true love. It's a classic theme that has been explored in countless love songs throughout history. What makes Brown's lyrics so insightful is that instead of shying away from the fear of heartbreak, the singer acknowledges it and accepts it as a possibility. He doesn't let it stop him from pursuing his love, nor does he let it cloud his judgement. He simply keeps his eyes open and his heart cautious.


The repetition of "dream on" in the lyrics is a powerful refrain that drives the message of the song home. It's a reminder to the singer, and to the audience, that not everything that glitters is gold, and that sometimes even the best things in life can come with a risk attached. It's a bittersweet reminder that as much as we want to live in a dream world where everything is perfect, we must also face reality and be prepared for the possibility of disappointment.
