In mid-1996, "Dreamer" re-entered the Hot 100, this time climbing to number 95. By then Robinson had left the group and was replaced by Tameka Star. With Star on lead vocals, the song "Don't Stop Movin'" hit number three on the U.S. dance chart in early 1997 and became another modest, although long-lived, hit in the mainstream - climbing to number 67 on the Hot 100, spending twenty weeks on the chart. The song peaked at number five in the UK and was followed by one additional top ten single ("Follow the Rules") and two top-twenty hits.
"Don't Stop Movin'" was followed by another Top 10 single in the UK in 1996 ("Follow the Rules") and two Top 20 hits in 1997, "Where Can I Find Love" and "Deep In You". The parent album, also called Don't Stop Movin', grouped together the hits, including "Dreamer" with new vocals by Starr (although the original version with Robinson was a hidden bonus track). Robinson subsequently re-released 2005 remixes of "Dreamer", credited as a solo release, which charted in the American dance charts.
Plans for a widescale commercial release of a single entitled "Just for the Sex of It" in 1999 were scrapped, due to lack of interest. It only received a limited club run, but was released as a single in Australia (where it reached number 76) and proved popular in the nightclubs. In 2008, recordings for the ill-fated follow-up were leaked online: "Love Yourself", "Lookin' Fine", "I Only Wanna Dance", "U R My Livin' Joy", "You Don't Love Me", and "Bump This".
Dreamer
Livin' Joy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a dreamer
Love life and laughter is all I believe
My savior is pure now because my lonely heart would bleed
I never learned how to hold love and stay strong to love
Now I close my eyes now and I'm dreaming right where I belong
Your heart's smooth my soul is unbelieving
Now you see the me and I'm feeling, I'm feeling
I feel your hands, your lips, the heat of your body
Whisper your love to me say that you love me
Please just love me down and never leave me,
I'm a dreamer
Here we lie all alone am I dreaming?
Your heart's smooth my soul is unbelieving
Now you see the me and I'm feeling, I'm feeling
I feel your hands, your lips, the heat of your body
Whisper your love to me say that you love me
Please just love me down and never leave me,
I'm a dreamer
Am I a dreamer?
Am I a dreamer?
Love life and laughter is all I believe
My savior is pure now because my lonely heart would bleed
I never learned how to hold love and stay strong to love
Now I close my eyes now and I'm dreaming right where I belong
Here we lie all alone am I dreaming?
Your heart's smooth my soul is unbelieving
Now you see the me and I'm feeling, I'm feeling
I feel your hands, your lips, the heat of your body
Whisper your love to me say that you love me
Please just love me down and never leave me
I'm a dreamer
Here we lie all alone am I dreaming?
Your heart's smooth my soul is unbelieving
Now you see the me and I'm feeling, I'm feeling
I feel your hands, your lips, the heat of your body
Whisper your love to me say that you love me
Please just love me down and never leave me,
I'm a dreamer
Am I a dreamer?
Am I a dreamer?
Am I a dreamer?

The chorus repeats, solidifying the idea that dreams can often feel just as, if not more real than reality.
