[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ahh, ooh
[Verse 1]
I went to a party all by myself
Only to see you with someone else
It hurt me so I wanted to scream
So would make a love, a love scene
[Chorus]
It was like a nightmare
To know my love you didn't share
It was like a nightmare
To see you in a love affair
[Verse 2]
The lights were dim way down low
So you couldn't see me or the tears that I flow
I close my eyes to erase
That tender scene takin' place
[Chorus]
It was like a nightmare
Somethin' I didn't wanna believe
Like a nightmare
Ah, it made me green
[Bridge]
Oh no
(Like a nightmare, you never hurt me)
How could you do it babe?
(Like a nightmare, that you mistreat me)
Treat me this way babe
Oh, you heard me
[Verse 3]
I tried to pull myself together
Remembering you vowed to love me forever
I walked away in order to scream
How could you ever be so mean, oh baby
[Chorus]
It was like a nightmare
To know my love you didn't share
Like a nightmare
To see you in a love affair
Like a nightmare
(Like a nightmare, you never hurt me)
Oh, baby
Like a nightmare
(Like a nightmare, that you mistreat me)
Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
(Like a nightmare, you never hurt me)
How could you do this to me
(Like a nightmare, that you mistreat me)
Oh baby, baby, baby
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
