Last night, boy, I met you, yeah
When I was asleep ('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, uhm, 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)
You're like (bum, bum, bum, bum, bum)
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, hmm, I try to
But I just want to stand and yell
I would 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 can 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, shh, I knew
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 you're next month like? Tell me what you up to
We can leave right now, boy, you don't need a duffle
What about La Perla? Let Vickie keep her secret
Boy, it ain't no secret, if I know you're gonna peep it, oh
Ooh, 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
