[Puff Daddy:]
Ashley (Ashley...)
Melissa (Melissa...)
Diana (Diana...)
Holly (Holly...)
Dream (Dream...)
Bad Boy baby, let's go!
Don't know what I've got to do
To get through to you
You aren't trying way too hard
To get the message through
I know cause I feel the same
And it's driving me insane
Why do we have to play these games
Oh, no...

Wish that I could get the nerve and
Walk right up to you and
Ask you baby for your name
(Ask you baby for your name)
You look so inviting (you...)
This seems so exciting (it does)
We should be together this way
(We should be together this way)

[Chorus:]
So what's the deal (what's the deal)
This don't seem real (this don't seem real)
This kind of thing only happens in my dreams
(Thing only happens in my dreams)
When boy meets girl (oh yeah)
A perfect world (a perfect world)
This sort of thing only happens in my dreams
(This only happens in my dream)

Top down and a cruising soul
With friends that we both know
It's just a Friday night thing
And I am ready to go
Hit the club and the party's on
DJ plays favorite song
It's just the way that we live
So let's go...

Baby anyway you're moving (you're moving)
Uh, you've got me thinking (thinking)
We should be together for days
(Now we should be together for days)
And as the days go slower (oh yeah)
Uh, you put me closer (me closer)
Can't believe it feels this way
(Can't believe it feels this way)

[Chorus:]
So what's the deal (what's the deal)
This don't seem real (this don't seem real)
This kind of thing only happens in my dreams
(Thing only happens in my dreams)
When boy meets girl (oh yeah)
A perfect world (a perfect world)
This sort of thing (this thing)
Only happens in my dreams
(Only happens in my dream baby)

Ah, ah...
Ah, ah...
Ah, ah...
Yea yeah...

[Bridge:]
Uh... this seems so real to me (real to me)
But it's a fantasy (fantasy)
Baby why can't you see
(Can't you see that baby)
I need to know the truth (I need to know)
There is no time with you (there's no time)
You've got to let me know
I am waiting...
Uh... this seems so real to me (real to me)
But it's a fantasy (fantasy)
Baby why can't you see
(Can't you see that baby)
I need to know the deal (I need to know)
There is no time to kill (there's no time to kill)
You've got to hurry
Before I awake...

[Chorus:]
So what's the deal (so what's the deal)
This don't seem real (I've got to know)
This kind of thing (oh yeah)
Only happens in my dreams
(Kind of thing only happens in my dreams)
When boy meets girl (oh yeah)
A perfect world (a perfect world)
This sort of thing (this thing)
Only happens in my dreams
(This thing, only happens in my dream baby)

Don't tell me (tell me baby)
I've really got to say (oh baby)
These kind of things only happen in my dreams
Don't tell me (tell me baby)
I've really got to say (oh baby)
These kind of things only happen in my dreams

[Chorus:]
So what's the deal (tell me baby)
This don't seem real (I've got to know it)
This kind of thing (this thing)
Only happens in my dreams
(This thing, only happens in my dream baby)
When boy meets girl (oh yeah)
A perfect world (it'll be a perfect world)
This sort of thing only happens in my dreams
(Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes)

[Chorus:]
So what's the deal (tell me baby)
This don't seem real (uh baby)
This kind of thing only happens in my dreams
When boy meets girl (tell me baby)
A perfect world (uh baby)
This sort of thing
Only happens in my dreams...
