Dreamin'

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.

Who knows where your love goes

When he closed the door

We have understanding and that means much more

But I don't have to worry where he goes

Cause I know that he'll be coming home

* You better give up or you'll never win

You better give up hanging on to him

Can't you see

Oh no you're just

** Dreamin' dreamin' of him

You're just dreamin' dreamin' of him

You're just dreamin' while he's dreamin' of me

Just dreamin' dreamin' of love you wish you had

I see magic in your eyes when he walks by

But I know you wanna touch him

Honey don't you try

Cause you don't stand a snowball chance in him

You'll make up ...trying to undream of him

* Repeat

** Repeat

Oh you're just gonna spend a lonely night

Dreamin' while he's dreamin' of me you're dreamin' of love you wish you had

Dreamin' while he's dreamin' of me

Dreamin' all the time he's dreamin' of me

You wish you had You wish you had

You better give up or you'll never win

You better give up hanging on to him

Can't you see

You wish you had (x2)

(repeat with adlib)

I know you want my baby

You see I know I got a good thing

Yes I do

You see girls this man is not like other men

And the reason I say this

Is because I know every lady out

There feel the same thing

Every lady feels that her man is special

He's special to her

No matter how he looks baby

It's the inside that counts

It's what's up front that counts

I'm gonna tell it to you anyway

...so called best girlfriends

You know the kind laugh in your face and try to take your man

Behind your back

You know what I'm talking about

You know where I'm coming from

Well let me tell you something

Let me tell you something

I don't play around girls like that

You know I don't really like to socialize with them

Because I feel like this.

What's mine is mine

What's yours is yours

You see I don't want nothing that's yours

I don't want nothing that looks at you

You see I know I got mine

I know I got him

I got every part of him

I got him from his hair to the tip of his toe

I know what I got

But let me tell you this

You see when you got somebody that loves you

You know they love

You can stand up here like me and tell the whole wide world

That I got my man (repeat)

Stand up and tell everybody I got him

I can stand up and tell everybody I got him

Everybody say I got him

I like to hear you know

Ain't gonna let nobody take him from me

Oh ain't gonna let nobody take him from me

I know how to love him

How to squeeze him how to tease him

(adlib until end)
