Just a Dream Lyrics

[Chorus]
I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only Just A Dream
So I traveled back, down that road
Will she come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream

I was at the top and now its like I'm in the basement
Number one spot and now she find her a replacement
I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby
And now you ain't around baby I can't think
I should've put it down, should've got the ring
Cause I can still feel it in the air
See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair
My lover, my life, my shawty, my wife
She left me, I'm tied
Cause I knew that it just ain't right

[Chorus]

When I be ridin' man I swear I see her face at every turn
Tryna get my Usher on but I can't let it Burn
And I just hopes she know that she the only one I yearn for
More and more I miss her, when will I learn
Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby
Hey, she was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm going through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm missing, wishing she'd pick up the phone
But she made the decision that she wanted to move on
Cause I was wrong

[Chorus]

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
So if you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything

[Chorus: x2]

Good song and pretty obvious what it's about. He loved a woman so much but he just didn't want to marry her so she got tired of waiting and moved on and now it's killing him to know that she won't ever be his again.

Cover art for Just a Dream lyrics by Nelly

This song is about a guy who didn't appreciate and fully love his girlfriend the way he should have. Now that shes gone he thinks he seems her image everywhere and he wishes that he had her back in his life for good. Its too late though and all he can do is reminisce and dream about her and a relationship that he knows he can't have with her anymore.

if u still like her than no its not just a dream go give it another chance to get with her, unless ur givin up on it than yes it is just a dream

"Trying to get my Usher on but I can't let it burn" is a reference to Usher's song Burn, which is about basically just dealing with the fact that your significant other is gone, AKA letting it burn.

This song is like my life... except the other way around... I couldn't do it so i left her. And now, that was a mistake i think, and i have lost her.

Thanks for posting the lyrics first of all. I'm not 100% but I think he's saying WILL SHE COME BACK and not WISH YOU COME BACK. Here's the chorus as I heard it:

I was thinkin about her Thinkin about me Thinkin about us (And) Where we gunna be Open my eyes (And) it was only just a dream

So I traveled back, down that road Will she come back No one knows And I realize, it was only just a dream

Yea I agree with Cas27. It's "will she come back".

And also it's "my lover" not my love.

"My lover. My life. My shorty. My wife. She left me, I'm tied. Cause I knew that it just ain't right."

I was at the top and now it's like I'm at the basement. Number one spot, now she found her a replacement. I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby.

Lyric Correction

who cares if its not 100% correct we know the song so dats all that matters, an i respect how ur tryin to get the truth of the song out but we know the song so it doesnt really matter

Cover art for Just a Dream lyrics by Nelly

This song makes me me feel sad. I really like this girl and want to go out with her. I already asked her out once and she said she didn't want to right then. Some people were making fun of me and I had to fake it and pretend I didn't like her. I still like her, but now I think she likes my BEST friend and although he doesn't like her, I'm really wondering if me going out with her was really "just a dream".
