just a dream

b.b. king

well

i wanna tell the story about a hard luck guy

nobody seems to love me

i guess that's the reason why

just dreams

dreams all night long and through the day

yes

and it's so sad

oh

to break my heart this way

yes

i'm not handsome or romantic

i don't have wavy hair

won't you girls please have mercy

the way you treat me ain't fair

why does bad luck follow me

oh

dreams

seems that's all that's left for me

well

i just can't get no place with a doggone thing i plan

every girl i try my luck on belongs to some other man

where

where

where is the one i'm dreaming of

all gone

gone with last night's dreams of love

yes

last night as i lay sleepin'

i dreamed about a queen

and it hurt me so bad

people

to wake up and find out it was just a dream

dream

dream is all i can do

oh

i'm so tired dreamin' dreams

dreams

that won't come true
