Girl Of My Dreams
Keith Sweat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, the ambassadors
Uh. Excuse me Miss whats your name, Keith's back again so tell all your friends.
Keith Sweat, Lets go

I'm not hating on him but I beg a pardon
'Cause I always see you cry and you never tell nobody why.
I see you with your diamond ring.
And he can buy you any brand name you choose
I'd do the same thing if I was in his shoes.
But what about the days.
Like when he comes in the house.
Taking it out on you.
Thats when I start to come through (and then I fall past you)

Baby I will steal you ( I will Steal your Love )
Tonight (it tears me up)

[Chorus]
It tears me up inside to see you crying out
Pouring like a waterfall
'Cause he don't treat you right
Like a Porsche auto, uh to the nonstop pardon
That's not how you treat the woman of my dreams

Maybe I'm being major everything he does
I know it kisses to the hugs
I'm sitting here wishing it was us.
Oh how can I take the game flip it upside down instead of him
Baby girl I should be your man you should be sleeping in my bed.
You're supposed to riding in the passenger seat of my car
Let me make a move
It's telestar sunshine baby I will steal you
Tell your man he don't deserve you

It tears me up inside

Its painful to sit around watching the girl of my dreams
Its painful cause im alone and she the reason being

When I made my way to the house the word rolled out my mouth
Excuse me miss what's your name its kind of hard for me to explain
I've been watchin' but I'm not insane all I know is





[Chorus]
