Lyrics Raphael Saadiq – Day Dreams
Text:
Have you ever wanted to
Buy someone you love somethin’
But you couldn’t afford it?
But you just bought it anyway
Yes, I’m livin’ on daydreams
Gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford, uh huh
Yes, I’m livin’ on daydreams
Gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford, uh huh
When the price ain’t right
And everythin’ ain’t lookin’ right
But you still want it all, uh huh
This line is long but still I ponder
This here check won’t last until October
But nothin’ more special
Than bringin’ my gifts to you
Oh, I’m livin’ on daydreams
Gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford, uh huh
Yes, I’m livin’ on daydreams
I’m gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford, uh huh
When the sun comes out I find myself
Spendin’ money on foolish necessities, mmm hmm
This woman I got is worth a lot
But man she sure hits the spot
Nothin’ more special
Than bringin’ them gifts to you
I’m livin’ on daydreams
I’m gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford, uh huh
Yes, I’m livin’ on daydreams
I’m gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford, uh huh
Yes, I’m livin’ on daydreams
Gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford
Yes, I am livin’ on daydreams
I’m gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford, like I said
When the sun comes out I find myself
Spendin’ money on foolish necessities, uh huh, see ya
This woman I got is worth a lot
But man she sure hits the spot
Nothin’ more special
Than bringin’ them gifts to you
Yeah, I’m livin’ on daydreams
Gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford
I’m livin’ on daydreams
I’m gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford
With bad credit and all, baby
I’m livin’ on daydreams
I’m gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford
Even if I have to take it back next month
I’m living on daydreams
Gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford
Even if I have to borrow from my other girlfriend
I’m living on daydreams
Gon’ buy me somethin’ I can’t afford
Just for you, it makes me feel good
Whenever I buy somethin’ special for you
It makes me feel good, yes, it does
I’m livin’ on daydreams
Yes, I am, livin’ on daydreams
It’s like the sunshine
Makes me feel good, alright
