i can't have you in my dreams
when i was in honduras, i wanted to see my baby, any way i could. sure, i could talk to her on the phone, and i sent her lots of letters, heck, i even had a photograph. but i didn't have me no amy. even when i went to sleep!
sung with a seevear twang.
maybe it's a way that fate is workin' possibilities,
maybe it means that our courtship is doomed to an end
maybe we're not sending any nocturnal love now
'til we can find a better way to share the same bed.
i can't have you in my dreamsrecently i woke in a sweat
during the day i love you it seems
but when i lay me down to sleep
and it's my baby i long to meet
i can't have you in my dreams.
worst dream i'd had of us yet!
i'd been cheatin', so had you
it was clear that we were through,
we were sorry that we had ever met.
i can't have you in my dreamsonce i saw you near me in the night,
during the day i love you it seems
sometimes i'm gray and you are blue,
it's a civil war for two
where i can't have you in my dreams.
it was all in black and white,
we were in a shopping mall,
a thousand naked israelis swam between us
and i couldn't reach you, try as i might.
i can't have you in my dreamslike once jerkin' off in a bathtub
during the day i love you it seems
when i rest my weary soul,
i can't touch you with a ten foot pole
i can't have you in my dreams.
there was sex but there was no love!
fifteen people watched me spew,
not a single one was you,
i was hopin' you would join the club.
i can't have you in my dreamsevery day i wake up the same,
during the day i love you it seems
when i'm in a lovin' mode,
and you're not in my area code,
i can't have you in my dreams.
all the dreams i have with you are lame!
maybe someday they'll get better,
i'll go to sleep and we'll stay together
and i'll never have to wake up.
