  • Uh, uh, uh (hey)

    I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me (uh, hey)
    Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be (us)
    Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream (hey)
    So I traveled back, down that road (uh)
    Will she come back, no one knows (back)
    I realize yeah, it was only just a dream

    I was at the top and now it's like I'm in the basement
    Number one spot and now she find her a replacement
    I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby
    And now you ain't around baby I can't think
    I should've put it down, should've got the ring
    'Cause I can still feel it in the air
    See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair
    My lover, my life, my shawty, my wife
    She left me, I'm tied
    'Cause I knew that it just ain't right (uh, uh, uh)

    I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me (uh, hey)
    Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be (us)
    Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream (hey)
    So I traveled back, down that road (uh)
    Will she come back, no one knows (back)
    I realize yeah, it was only just a dream

    When I be ridin' man I swear I see her face at every turn
    Tryna get my Usher on but I can't let it burn
    And I just hopes she know that she the only one I yearn for
    My woman, oh I miss her, when will I learn
    Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback
    Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby
    Hey, she was so easy to love
    But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
    I'm going through it every time that I'm alone
    And now I'm missing, wishing she'd pick up the phone
    But she made the decision that she wanted to move on
    'Cause I was wrong (uh, uh, uh)

    And I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me (uh, hey)
    Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be (us)
    Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream (hey)
    So I traveled back, down that road (uh)
    Will she come back, no one knows (back)
    I realize yeah, it was only just a dream (uh, uh, hey)

    If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
    If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
    And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything (everything)
    Said if you ever loved somebody put your hands up
    If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
    Now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
    Uh, uh, uh

    I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me (uh, hey)
    Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be (us)
    Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream (hey)
    So I traveled back, down that road (uh)
    Will she come back, no one knows (back)
    I realize yeah, it was only just a dream
