Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, well, I got a feelin'
(I had a dream)
Things ain't goin' right
(I had a dream)
Come over, baby
(I had a dream)
Let me tell you 'bout my dream last night
(I had a dream)
Oh, I dreamed someone else
(I had a dream)
Was here with you
(I had a dream)
Doin' all the things
(I had a dream)
I used to do
(I had a dream)
Please, don't let this dream come true
(I had a dream)
Tell me I'm not losin' you
(I had a dream)
Baby, say it was a dream
(I had a dream, I had a dream)
[Verse 2]
Well, well, you know I came home
(I had a dream)
And found you gone
(I had a dream)
I never felt so
(I had a dream)
So all alone
(I had a dream)
Oh, with your voice
(I had a dream)
Ringin' in my ear
(I had a dream)
I just could not hold
(I had a dream)
Hold back my tears
(I had a dream)
Please, don't let it come true
(I had a dream)
Tell me I'm not losin' you
(I had a dream)
Oh, say it was a dream
(I had a dream, I had a dream)
[Verse 3]
Well, well, well, it seems
(I had a dream)
That you love me no more
(I had a dream)
I never felt
(I had a dream)
Felt this way before
(I had a dream)
You were so cold
(I had a dream)
I wonder why
(I had a dream)
You didn't care
(I had a dream)
How much I cried
(I had a dream)
Baby, please don't let it come true
(I had a dream)
Won't you say that I'm not losin' you?
(I had a dream)
Oh, say it was a dream
(I had a dream, I had a dream)
[Verse 4]
Well, well, you know I beg you
(I had a dream)
Well, come back fast
(I had a dream)
You know without you, baby
(I had a dream)
I know I couldn't last
(I had a dream)
Oh, but you would not listen
(I had a dream)
Listen to my plea
(I had a dream)
You turn around, yeah
(I had a dream)
Walk away from me
(I had a dream)
Now you know you can't let it come true now
(I had a dream)
Tell me I'm not losin' you, babe
(I had a dream)
Won't you say it was a dream?
(I had a dream, I had a dream)
