If at first you don't succeed at love
Just dream a little dream about a girl so real
When she don't call up no more, well
Never give up, you gotta believe it
If only in my dreams (only in my dreams)
If only in my dreams she'll be right there next to me

And if I could say, if only in my dreams
You're the luckiest girl
In the world there's no other girl luckier
You don't have to explain it
('Cause you're the one who's in love)
and we'll have so much fun
On the beach, on the ocean of my dreams
Even only in my dreams

If at first you don't succeed at love
Just dream a little dream about a girl so real
And when she don't call up no more, well
Don't ever give up, yeah you gotta believe it
If only in my dreams she'll be right there next to me
(Only in my dreams) Only in my dreams

And if I could say, if only in my dreams,
You're the luckiest girl
In the world there's no other girl luckier
You don't have to explain it
('Cause you're the one who's in love)
and we'll have so much fun
On the beach, on the ocean in my dreams
Yeah, only in my dreams

And if I could see
That you'll be real with me
And we'll have so much fun
And it's just begun

If only in my dreams (you're the luckiest girl)
In the world there's no other more luckier
You don't have to explain it
('Cause you're the one who's in love)
And we'll have so much fun
If only in my dreams

    it's weird that the lyrics to mature themes itself isn't here...which is basically a song about wanting to have a lot of sex with somebody.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
