Four o'clock, I've been walkin' all night
It's the time I always think of you
If you could only see through my eyes
Then you'd know just what I'm going through
Here am I, I'm taking a chance
In running around with stars in my eyes
Here am I, I'm looking for you
Wondering why do I feel so blue
I'm dreamin', dreamin' of me and you, oh
I'm dreamin', dreamin' will see me through
Never letting chances pass me by
I'm gonna dream you right into my life
Yeah, dream you right into my life
(Dreamin', dreamin' will see me through)
Woman, you'd better believe that I'm
(Dreamin' you into my life)
Five o'clock, still walking around
I call you up but you just bring me down
I guess you'd say I'm getting nowhere
But in my dreams you always come around
Here am I, I'm taking a chance
I'm walking on air, flying so high
Here am I, I'm facing the truth
There's no other way I'll ever make you mine
I'm dreamin', dreamin' of me and you, oh
I'm dreamin', dreamin' will see me through
Never letting chances pass me by
I'm gonna dream you right into my life
Yeah, dream you right into my life
(Dreamin', dreamin' will see me through)
Woman, you better believe that I'll be
(Dreamin' you into my life)
Woman, you've got to believe me, woman
Oh woman, you've got to believe me woman I'll be
(Dreamin' you into my life)
You've got to believe me, woman
Woman, oh woman, you've got to believe me, I'll be forever
(Dreamin' you into my life)
It's the time I always think of you
If you could only see through my eyes
Then you'd know just what I'm going through
Here am I, I'm taking a chance
In running around with stars in my eyes
Here am I, I'm looking for you
Wondering why do I feel so blue
I'm dreamin', dreamin' of me and you, oh
I'm dreamin', dreamin' will see me through
Never letting chances pass me by
I'm gonna dream you right into my life
Yeah, dream you right into my life
(Dreamin', dreamin' will see me through)
Woman, you'd better believe that I'm
(Dreamin' you into my life)
Five o'clock, still walking around
I call you up but you just bring me down
I guess you'd say I'm getting nowhere
But in my dreams you always come around
Here am I, I'm taking a chance
I'm walking on air, flying so high
Here am I, I'm facing the truth
There's no other way I'll ever make you mine
I'm dreamin', dreamin' of me and you, oh
I'm dreamin', dreamin' will see me through
Never letting chances pass me by
I'm gonna dream you right into my life
Yeah, dream you right into my life
(Dreamin', dreamin' will see me through)
Woman, you better believe that I'll be
(Dreamin' you into my life)
Woman, you've got to believe me, woman
Oh woman, you've got to believe me woman I'll be
(Dreamin' you into my life)
You've got to believe me, woman
Woman, oh woman, you've got to believe me, I'll be forever
(Dreamin' you into my life)

Obviously a song about drug use. The clue is in the lyric that indicates he walking around at 4am. 4am??? That's when drug dealing is at its peak because the late night cop shift ends at 4am and the morning shift starts at 6am.
So the "woman" is whatever drug he is trying to "dream" into his life. I'm guessing this could be a reference to heroin use which was just beginning to push away cocaine as the drug of choice during that historical era.
