Go Away Dream Lyrics

[Intro]
Go away dream (Doo-do-do-doo)

[Verse 1]
Go away dream
'Cause I know you ain't real
You let me see her, but you won't let me feel
But her arms will be open, she'll be there until
I try to touch her and I get a dirty deal
So I stay awake, just as long as I can
Then in an open field, she appears again (Doo-do-do-doo)
I run to kiss her and the bubble pops, you see
I wake up hugging my pillow hating reality

[Chorus]
So go away dream
Ooh-ooh-ooh, go away dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Go away dream
Ooh-ooh-ooh, go away dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Now my mother hears me cryin', all through the night
She said "Son, that lady is much too hard in life"
Well, if you're too much for me, in life it seems
You've been too much for me, baby, for my dreams
[Chorus]
So go away dream
Ooh-ooh-ooh, go away dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Go away dream
Ooh-ooh-ooh, go away dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 3]
I know the reason
He won't let me have her
Men must 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

[Chorus]
Go away dream
Ooh-ooh-ooh, go away dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Go away dream
Ooh-ooh-ooh, go away dream
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Outro]
So go away dream
'Cause I know you ain't real (Go away dream)
You let me see her, but you won't let me feel
Go away dream
