Sweet dreams
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sweet dreams of you, every night I go through
I should hate you girl the whole night through
Instead I'm having sweet dreams all about you
You don't love me it's plain
I should have known you'd never share my name
Why can't I forget you girl, start loving someone new?
Instead I'm having sweet dreams all about you
Why can't I forget my past, start loving someone new?
Instead I'm having sweet dreams all about you
Sweet dreams of you, every night I go through
I should hate you girl the whole night through
Instead I'm having sweet dreams all about you
