I Still Dream About You
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting on the edge of the bed
I recall how you can send me to heaven
You never deny me in the middle of the night
My desires from morn to eleven
Whenever I ask there's never a task
For someone as wild as you
It's tough to believe I can hardly conceive
Of the things you can get me to do

(I hold your picture and your eyes they talk to me)
(Saying I want you tonight)
I still dream about you
I still dream about you
I still dream about you

Are you lonely baby, are you lonely for me too
Every night I get this feeling inside
Anticipating what's gonna come
It's all I can do to keep my hands off my pie
When I think about the things we done
I'm in a position to break some tradition
Never mind the song and dance
If you rock on the corner and start rocking this joint
It's time that we are making an advance yes it is

(I hold your picture and your eyes they talk to me)
(Saying I want you tonight)
I still dream about you




I still dream about you
I still dream about you
