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
