Dreamlover Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I need a lover to give me
The kind of love that will last always
I need somebody uplifting
To take me away, baby
[Verse 2]
I want a lover who knows me
Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely nights
'Till the dawn
Why don't you take me away?
[Chorus]
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around?
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
[Verse 3]
I don't want another pretender
To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind
(No no no, no no, baby)
[Verse 4]
I need someone to hold on to
The kind of love that won't fly away
I just want someone to belong to
Every day
Of my life
Always
So come and take me away
[Chorus]
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around?
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
(With you)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
(Baby, come and take me away)
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down (Take me down)
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately (I need you, baby)
Won't you please come around? (Won't you please?)
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
[Outro]
I need you so, I need you so
Take me up
Come on, baby
With you, baby

I wanted to do something that had a happy feeling, something that was more open and released, and that’s really not Dave. It’s very anti what he’s about…Then we started listening to a lot of different and old loops.
