[Intro]
Tell me is this a dream
[Verse 1]
You're the same old girl
That lived across the street
And you're the same old girl, yeah
That I was dying to meet
[Refrain]
Well, now you're running around (Running around)
And you think that I don't know (Running around)
And you know if I found out
It's gonna hurt me so
[Pre-Chorus]
And it hurts me so bad
Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Tell me this is a dream, somebody, please
Tell me this is a dream, somebody, please
Tell me this is a dream
[Verse 2]
And I remember
When you kissed me
You said you loved me so much, girl
Said our love would always be
[Refrain]
Well, now you're running around (Running around)
You think that I don't know (Running around)
And you know if I find out
It's gonna hurt me so
[Pre-Chorus]
And it hurts me so bad
Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Tell me this is a dream, somebody, please
Tell me this is a dream, somebody, please
Tell me this is a dream
[Interlude]

That don't want to face the reality
Of the one I love leaving me
You know, loving you too much
Not wanting to realize that
You're in love with someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
And it hurts me so bad
Whoa, oh, oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Tell me this is a dream, somebody
Tell me this is a dream, somebody, please
Tell me this is a dream
Tell me this is a dream, somebody
Tell me this is a dream, somebody, please
Tell me this is a dream
[Outro]
Tell me this is a dream, somebody
Tell me this is a dream, somebody
