Day Dreams - Raphael Saadiq

Have you ever wanted to

Buy someone you love somethin'

But you couldn’t afford it?

But you just bought it anyway

You know how that go

Yes, I’m livin' on daydreams

Gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford, uh huh

Yes, I’m livin' on daydreams

Gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford, uh huh

When the price ain’t right

And everythin' ain’t lookin' right

But you still want it all, uh huh

This line is long but still I ponder

This here check won’t last 'til October

But nothin' more special than bringin' my gifts to you

Oh, I’m livin' on daydreams

Gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford, uh huh

Yes, I’m livin' on daydreams

I’m gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford, uh huh

When the sun comes out I find myself

Spendin' money on foolish necessities, mmm hmm

This woman I got is worth a lot

But man she sure hits the spot

Nothin' more special than bringin' them gifts to you

I’m livin' on daydreams

I’m gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford, uh huh

Yes, I’m livin' on daydreams

I’m gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford, uh huh

Yes, I’m livin' on daydreams

Gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford, yes, I am

Livin' on daydreams

I’m gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford, like I said

When the sun comes out I find myself

Spendin' money on foolish necessities, uh huh

See uh, this woman I got is worth a lot

But man she sure hits the spot

Nothin' more special than bringin' them gifts to you

Yeah, I’m livin' on daydreams

Gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford

I’m livin' on daydreams

I’m gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford

With bad credit and all, baby

I’m livin' on daydreams

I’m gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford

Even if I have to take it back next month

I’m living on daydreams

Gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford

Even if I have to borrow from my other girlfriend

I’m living on daydreams

Gon' buy me somethin' I can’t afford

Just for you, it makes me feel good

Whenever I buy somethin' 'specially for you

It makes me feel good, yes, it does

I’m livin' on daydreams

Yes, I am, livin' on daydreams

It’s like the sunshine

Makes me feel good, alright
