Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just an ordinary people
But I can promise you
That I can be the one you can count on
You said we had a good time
This could be something but you keep me asking
I told myself to stop playing pretend
And I just wanted to say goodnight
And that I'm thinking of you

I may sound old-fashioned
But you keep me up all night

I am not ready to go tonight
Cause I'll see you in my dream
I am not ready to go tonight
Cause I'll see you in my dream

Do you really like me
Or is it just the same

Do you really like me
Or is it just the same
