You Dream Too Much Lyrics

She came down the stairs in a cocktail dress
She fell on her food like a lioness
There was ringing in my ears like an SOS
She said, "You dream too much
If you think I've a thing for you
You dream too much; it's going to end bad

The boom-box was sounding sweet
We were dancing to a jungle beat
Just when our lips were about to meet
She said, "You dream too much
Ah, who's that girl in your dreams with you
You dream too much; it's going to end bad

You'll stumble going through life the way that you do
I hope I'm somewhere else the day that you do
The way that you do..."

She had a chassis like an XJS
A skull necklace like a high priestess
I thought maybe just one caress

She said "You dream too much
You're dreaming now while I'm talking to you
You dream too much; it's going to end bad."
Oh, it's gonna end bad...

All my life I've been like this
I start thinking of the perfect kiss
Velvet dream of an iron fist
She said you dream too much
Even this isn't really true
You dream too much; it's going to end bad...
Oh, it's gonna end bad
Ah, It's gonna end bad
It's gonna end bad.

Cover art for You Dream Too Much lyrics by Richard Thompson

He has a woman in his dreams that is just amazing and perfect in every way. I could also almost see that he could want his current lover to be like the woman of his dreams. However his current woman knows about his dreams and wants him to remain loyal to the real her, and not his dreams and fantasies.
