Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh
Ooh
[Chorus]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
Ooh
Ooh, oh
[Chorus]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
[Chorus]
Hey, yeah, yeah
Ooh
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
Some of them want to use you
Some of them wanna get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
[PreChorus]
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh
[Chorus]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
[Chorus]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
[Chorus]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
[Chorus]
Some of them want to use you
Sweet dreams are made of this
Some of them wanna get used by you
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Some of them want to abuse you
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
[Chorus]
Hold your head up
Sweet dreams are made of this
Hold your head up
Who am I to disagree?
Keep your head up, keep movin' on
I've traveled the world and the seven seas
Hold your head up, hold your head up
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
[Outro]
Ooh
Hold your head up
Keep lookin', lookin' for somethin'
