This song is Nelly talking about the love of his life that left him. The “love” and relationship that they had together were really fake and just a dream–Like when you have a really good dream (possibly related to someone you’re crushing on) and the feeling you get when you wake up and find out it w...
[Chorus]
Uh, uh, uh (Hey)
I was thinking 'bout her (Uh), thinking 'bout me (Hey)
Thinking 'bout us (Us), what we gon' be? (Hey)
Open my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream (Hey)
So I traveled back (Uh), down that road (Hey)
Will she come back? (Back) No one knows
I realize, yeah
It was only just a dream
[Verse 1]
I was at the top and now it's like I'm in 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
And now you ain't around, baby, I can't think
I shoulda put it down, shoulda got that 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 tight
'Cause I knew that it just ain't right
[Chorus]
Uh, uh, uh (Hey)
I was thinking 'bout her (Uh), thinking 'bout me (Hey)
Thinking 'bout us (Us), what we gon' be? (Hey)
Open my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream (Hey)
So I travel back (Uh), down that road (Hey)
Will she come back? (Back) No one knows
I realize, yeah
It was only just a dream
[Verse 2]
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 hope 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 thinkin' all about my baby
Hey, she was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm goin' through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm missing, wishing she pick up the phone
But she made a decision that she wanted to move on
'Cause I was wrong
[Chorus]
Uh, uh, uh (Hey)
I was thinking 'bout her (Uh), thinking 'bout me (Hey)
Thinking 'bout us (Us), what we gon' be? (Hey)
Open my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream (Hey)
So I travel back (Uh), down that road (Hey)
Will she come back? (Back) No one knows
I realize, yeah
It was only just a dream (Uh, uh, hey)
[Bridge]
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up (Hands up)
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
And now they gone and you wishing you could give them everything (Everything, hey)
Said if you ever loved somebody, put your hands up (Hands up)
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up (Hands up)
Now they gone and you wishing you could give them everything
[Chorus]
Uh, uh, uh (Hey)
I was thinking 'bout her (Uh), thinking 'bout me (Hey)
Thinking 'bout us (Us), what we gon' be? (Hey)
Open my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream (Hey)
So I travel back (Uh), down that road (Hey)
Will she come back? (Back) No one knows
I realize, yeah
It was only just a dream (Uh, uh, uh)
I was thinking 'bout her (Uh), thinking 'bout me (Hey)
Thinking 'bout us (Us), what we gon' be? (Hey)
Open my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream (Hey)
So I travel back (Uh), down that road (Hey)
Will she come back? (Back) No one knows
I realize, yeah
It was only just a dream

That Grape Juice asked Nelly if “Just a Dream” was about his relationship with R&B singer Ashanti.
No it’s not about Ashanti. It’s just a song that I and my man Rico love came up with. It’s a song that just relatable on all levels – rich, poor, black, white, child, adult – whatever level it is....
