Fantasy
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kinda hectic inside
Mmm, baby I'm so into you
Darling, if you only knew
All the things that flow through my mind
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Images of rapture
Creep into me slowly
As you're going to my head
And my heart beats faster
When you take me over
Time and time and time again
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
I'm in heaven
With my boyfriend
My laughing boyfriend
There's no beginning
And there is no end
Feels like I'm dreaming
But I'm not sleeping
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
The lyrics of Mariah Carey's song Fantasy are centered around an unattainable and perfect love interest. The singer of the song is infatuated with someone who walks by every night, looking great and talking sweetly, making her feel hectic inside. She is so into this person that she admits that if they only knew all the thoughts that flow through her mind, they would be overwhelmed. The chorus of the song encompasses the feeling that the singer experiences, acknowledging that the fantasy she has with her love interest is sweet but just limited to her mind.
The second verse follows the same pattern as the first one, with the singer admitting that the imagined images of being with her love interest reach the ecstatic heights, feeling like they are going to her head and making her heart beat faster every time. The song ends with the singer stating that she feels like she's in heaven when she's with her "laughing boyfriend." She acknowledges that there's no beginning or end to their relationship, and it feels like a dream come true, but she's not asleep. The chorus repeats itself, stating that the love she has and the images of being with this perfect person are just a sweet fantasy, limited only to her imagination.

This is what I'm talking about. Two versions in one song. 😍 😍 😍
Mariah never failed to amaze me ❤💗💓
Juan Del Sol
This isn't the official released version. The official remix didn't have the "sweet sweet fantasy" chorus. Prolly because of radio wanting it shorter. But this, to me, is the best version.
Gene Ebeling
The ODB version we love, and listen to the most, versus the original version. Mariah's voice is like the sweetest candy for your ears. Still my favorite song from Daydream.
Apple Tan
This is the best version. The one in Spotify doesn’t have the chorus and it always feels like it’s so incomplete.
Juan Del Sol
THIS IS THE COMPLETE AND BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG AND MARIAH'S FAVORITE -- PERIODT!
