Pull up to her parents place
Long hair and a smile on her face
Her old man met me at the door
I could tell that he expected more
Tattoo's and rock 'n roll band
Two things that he don't understand
He said "you'll never be like us
Hey son, why don't you get lost"
I'm not, good enough for you
And i'm not, the coolest kid in school
But i've got her heat on lock and threw away the key
So you can dream, yeah you can dream but i'm you're nightmare
He slammed that door right in my face
No sweat, 'cuz i just hopped the gate
She met me by her windowsill (3-2-1)
And it was fun until
We broke down on harper avenue
She laughed 'cuz this was nothing new
I'm poor with a pocket full of dreams
But got more than anybody needs
I got you
I'm not, good enough for you
And i'm not, the coolest kid in school
But i've got her heat on lock and threw away the key
So you can dream, yeah you can dream but i'm you're nightmare
So close your eyes and drift to sleep
'cuz daddy's girl will do what she please
While you're at home counting sheep
She'll be with me
I'm not, good enough for you
And i'm not, the coolest kid in school
But i've got her heat on lock and threw away the key
So you can dream, yeah you can dream but i'm you're nightmare
