She might say we were as close 
As could be,
But she'd never say she was
In love with me.
I mistook her kisses
For true love...
Something I've been dreaming of.

She might whisper lies
Softly in my ear,
But God forbid if her friends
Should ever hear
'Cause my credentials didn't qualify
To be in love...
Something I've been dreaming of.

She had me college degree investigated...
The size of my wallet estimated...
I ain't one to keep my feelings in a straight jacket,
So I said goodbye, 'cause I just couldn't hack it.

Now I'm a few more years
And inches tall.
A few more stones
Lie upon my wall.
Girl, I may not sing real pretty,
But I can give you love...
Something I've been dreaming of.
