Daydream
Haywood Leon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I do is daydream
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
And I'm staring into space, yeah
My supervisor's watching
I know I'll soon be replaced, yeah
I can't keep my concentration
No matter how hard I try
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
The day is long and it's so boring
'Cause I'd rather be with you
But I've got to put this time in
Because I've got some bills that's due
I can't help reminiscing
About the warmth of your kisses
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby, ooh babe
On the crowded bus with stand room only
Trying to make it home to you
My feet are sore, my back is aching
I'm so glad the day is through
I'm in deep medication
Some folks say I'm in a trance
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream about you, baby
I can do nothing but daydream
I daydream
about you, baby
The lyrics to Haywood Leon's song "Daydream" depict a narrator who is completely consumed by thoughts of their lover. The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song with the repeated line "I can do nothing but daydream." The singer is so preoccupied with thoughts of their partner that they struggle to focus on their responsibilities, even at work. The second stanza reveals that the singer would rather be with their lover than anywhere else, but they are forced to endure the mundane tasks of their daily routine in order to pay the bills. The third stanza describes the singer's physical discomfort as they travel home, but even in this challenging moment, they are still lost in thoughts of their lover. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song underscores the singer's all-consuming daydreaming.
At its core, "Daydream" is a classic love song that explores the feeling of infatuation and the longing that can come with being separated from the person you love. The singer's daydreams provide an escape from the grind of everyday life, and they serve as a reminder of what truly matters: the connection between two people.
