You see me now, as large as life
But underneath, you knew all too well
The hollow shell, no spark of life
Where once upon a time, there beat a heart
For you and you knew it, from the start
And you went and blew it, all away
And you knew how, oh, you knew best
The strings to pull and buttons to press
To wind me up, or make me shake
You controlling every move I make
How could I've seen through it, all the pain
And you put me through it
Over and over again
Just tell me, over and over and over
How could you say there was no other?
Why is it, nothing's what it seems?
You told me I'm your greatest lover
Do you even know what that word means?
Your loving is cooling
Baby, who ya think you're fooling?
'Cause when I woke up, I caught you cheatin' in your dreams
When I woke up, I caught you cheatin' in your dreams
Stop it! Stop it! Don't you say a word
I put my hands around her neck and everything went blurred
Broken, broken, she slipped from out my hand
She lay so still and lifeless, I cried, "Baby, baby, baby"
How could you say there was no other?
Why is it, nothing's what it seems?
You told me I'm your greatest lover
Do you even know what that word means?
Your loving is cooling
Baby, who ya think you're fooling?
'Cause when I woke up, I caught you cheatin' in your dreams
(Cheatin', cheatin', cheatin' in your dreams)
(Cheatin', cheatin', cheatin' in your dreams)
It was my dumb luck, I just came unstuck
My whole world shook, I'd had about enough
When I woke up, I caught you cheatin' in your dreams
OUTRO: (## fade to end ##)
(Cheatin', cheatin', cheatin' in your dreams)
(Cheatin', cheatin', cheatin' in your dreams)
(Cheatin', cheatin', cheatin' in your dreams)
