Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had a dream
That I just couldn't sleep a wink last night
I had a dream
That I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I just had to get up and walk the floor
Finally I turned out all the lights
[Instrumental]
I dreamed I had bags under my eyes
Corns on my feet
Holes in my shoes
And didn't have a thing to eat
Lord, what a dream
I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I had to get up and walk the floor
Finally I had to turn out all the lights
[Verse 2]
I dreamed I lost my family
Everything I had
And I dreamed my little boy was calling somebody's dad
I had a dream
That I just couldn't sleep a wink last night
I had to get up and walk the floor
And I had to turn out all the lights
[Outro]
Ooh, oh yeah
