I dream of you
I dream, yeah I do
It sure does sting boy it's all I do
When I dream, I dream of you
And not any other
When I sleep, I dream right through
When I sleep, I sleep so deep these days
When I sleep, I sleep just right all night
And I'm beside myself, oh self, beside
Yeah I decide to dream top shelf all night
When I dream, I dream of you
I dream of you

It sure does sting boy it's all I do
When I dream, I dream of you
