  • Last night, boy, I met you, yeah
    When I was sleep (sleep)
    You're such a dream to me, mmm, woah
    And it was on a day like this, yeah
    If you can believe, if you can believe (if you can believe)
    You're such a dream to me

    Before you speak, don't move
    'Cause I don't wanna wake up
    Wake up, wake up, wake up
    Don't wanna wake up, oh
    Wake up, wake up, wake up
    Boy, you're such a dream
    If you can believe, babe
    Boy, you're such a dream to me

    "Excuse me, um, I love you"
    I know that's not the way to start a conversation, trouble
    I watch them other girls when they come and bug you
    But I felt like I knew you, so I just wanted to hug you
    Plus you don't know your way around
    You can stop your playing now
    All your worries, lay 'em down, shh, don't say it loud
    Is this real, baby?
    (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum)
    You like?
    "I love you" Who starts a conversation like that?
    Nobody, but I do
    But you are not a picture, I can't cut you up and hide you
    I'll get you out my mind, mhm, I tried to
    But I just want to stand and yell
    I will never dare to tell
    Think I heard some wedding bells, shh, keep it to yourself
    Is this real? (Is this real?)

    Before you speak, don't move
    'Cause I don't wanna wake up
    Wake up, wake up, wake up
    Don't wanna wake up, oh no
    Wake up, wake up, wake up
    'Cause you're such a dream
    If you can believe
    You're such a dream to me, mmm, boy

    I could buy you anything, but I cannot buy you
    Before your boy gets smart, I would never try to
    You know I'm thinking to myself, "What happened? Why you?"
    But when I see you in my dreams, psh, I know
    You know how to treat it, you know how to eat it
    You know how to beat it (I know how to keep it)
    The Good Housekeeping Seal
    (Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum)
    I don't just wanna touch you
    I'm tryna turn two single people into a couple
    What's your next month like? Tell me what you're up to
    We can leave right now, boy, you don't need a duffel
    What about La Perla? Let Vickie keep her secret
    Boy, it ain't no secret if I know you're gonna peep it, oh

    Before you speak, don't move
    'Cause I don't wanna wake up
    Wake up, wake up, wa-wake up
    Wake up, wake up, wake up, wa-wake up
    (No I don't want, no)

    'Cause you're such a dream (does this end?)
    If you can believe, you're such a dream to me
    To me, mmm, boy, to me. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
