I wanna get some sleep
Shu-dup-shu-do
Go away, dream
Shu-dup-shu-do
Go away, dream, 'cause I know you ain't real
You let me see her, but you won't let me feel
Now her arms will be open, she'll be there until
I try to touch her and I cannot turn again
So I stay awake, just as long as I can
And in an open field, she appears again
I run to kiss her, and the broken heart she sees
I wake up, hugging my pillow, hating reality
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
Now my mother hears me crying, all through the night
She said: Son,
that
lady
is
much
too
hard
in
life
Well, live it too much for me, in life it seems
You've been too much for me, baby, for my dreams
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
I wanna catch some sleep
I know the reason, he won't let me have her
Man have submit to her, heaven, here on earth
So even in real life, she's still just a dream
So when I see her, I turn my head and sing
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
