Last night, my fantasies become oh-so true
You said you wanted me as much as I want you
If I said it hadn't crossed my mind
Then though baby, I'd be lying
It just got complicated, I don't know what to do

Can I get it like that, that, that, let me know
'Cause I really like that, that, that, when you go
And I know it's not real, but the way that I feel
I just need to know
Can I get it like that, that, that, let me know
'Cause I really like that, that, that, when you go
And I know it's not real, but the way that I feel
I just need to know
(Know, know, know)

In my dreams
You'd say you want me and my body
In my dreams
You'd say you need me, believe me
In my dreams
You'd say you love me, say you'll never leave my dreams
In my dreams

You love me like yeah, yeah
You love me right, oh, yeah

You love me like, you love me right
In my dreams

Inside I'm screaming loud, I'm calling out your name
It's time you started listening, don't think you can hear me
'Cause if you really wanna go right 'round
Time is ticking, we gotta leave now
Time is ticking, and we gotta leave town tonight

Can I get it like that, that, that, let me know

Overall Meaning

The song "Dreams" by Dua Lipa describes her innermost desires and fantasies. She talks about a love that has become complicated and uncertain, yet she still yearns for it in her dreams. The song conveys a sense of longing and insecurity as Dua Lipa questions whether her dreams of love and intimacy will ever be fulfilled in reality.


The lyrics suggest a deep emotional attachment between the singer and her love interest, but also imply a sense of frustration and confusion. The lines "If I said it hadn't crossed my mind / Then though baby, I'd be lying / It just got complicated, I don't know what to do" indicate a lack of clarity in the relationship, as well as a conflicted state of mind. Dua Lipa wonders if her feelings are reciprocated ("Can I get it like that, that, that, let me know") and whether her dreams will ever become a tangible reality.


The chorus of the song focuses on the intense desire for love and affection ("In my dreams / You'd say you want me and my body / In my dreams / You'd say you need me, believe me / In my dreams / You'd say you love me, say you'll never leave my dreams") and the longing to be loved fully, both physically and emotionally. The repetition of the phrase "You love me like yeah, yeah / You love me right, oh, yeah" reinforces this desire for a deep emotional connection and a satisfying physical relationship.


Overall, "Dreams" is a powerful, introspective song that explores themes of love, desire, and the complex emotions that arise in relationships.
