Sweet Dreams
Weezer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for something

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for something

Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?




I've travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for something

I'm normally not the biggest fan of covers that are pretty much exactly the original song, but in the context of them doing an entire album of pitch perfect covers, it's super impressive.

Arita7769

I almost always HATE covers of amazing songs, they're nearly always terrible. So far, I absolutely love, love, LOVE this album <3
