Cheatin' In Your Dreams

Meat Loaf


You see me now as large as life 
But underneath you knew all too well 
The hollow shell no spark of life 
Where once upon a time there beat a heart for you 
And you knew it from the start 
But you went and blew it all away 

And you knew how, yeah you knew best 
The strings to pull and the buttons to press 
To wind me up and make me shake 
You controlling every move I make 
I couldn't see through it 
All the pain 
And you put me through it 
Over and over again 
Over and over ... 

How could you say there was no other 
Why is it nothing's what it seems 
You told me I'm your greatest lover 
Do you even know what that word means 
You lovin' is coolin' 
Baby who d'ya think you're foolin' 
Cuz when I woke up 
I caught you cheatin' in your dreams 

Stop it, stop it 
Don't you say a word 
I felt my hands around her neck 
And everything went blurred 
Broken, broken 
She slipped from out my hands 
She lay so still and lifeless 
I cried baby, baby, baby ... 

How could you say there was no other 
Why is it nothing's what it seems 
You told me I'm your greatest lover 
Do you even know what that word means 
Your lovin' is coolin' 

Baby who d'ya hink you're foolin' 
Cuz when I woke up 
I caught you cheatin' in your dreams 
Cheatin', cheatin' 
Cheatin' in your dreams 
It was my dumb luck 
I just came unstuck 
When my whole world shook 
I'd had about enough 
Cuz when I woke up 
I caught you cheatin' in your dreams
