MAN OF MY DREAMS
words and music

IT WAS GOOD, IT MEANT EVERYTHING TO ME
THE PERFECT LOVE FINALLY FOUND THE MAN OF MY DREAMS
WHERE'D YOU COME FROM HOW'D I GET SO LUCKY
WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE SOMEONE LIKE YOU
IT WAS REAL THE PASSION WE FELT
YOU WANTED ME ALL TO YOURSELF
IT WAS SAFE JUST YOU AND ME
UNTIL THAT DAY YOU WOKE ME FROM MY DREAM
WHERE'D IT COME FROM THIS VIOLENT SIDE OF YOU
WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE YOUR BITTER ABUSE
I DONT GET IT WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY GAIN FROM THIS
TO LIFT YOUR HAND TO THE WOMAN YOU LOVE
ARE YOU A MAN WHEN YOURE CRUSHING THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU
YOU WANNA BREAK ME DOWN THINK YOU CAN PUSH ME AROUND
YOU TRY AND BEAT ME INTO THE GROUND BUT YOU CANT BEAT ME
BOY YOURE GOOD AN ACCOMPLISHED FRAUD
GOT ME TO BELIEVE IT'S ALL BEEN MY FAULT
HOW'D IT HAPPEN HOW'D I BECOME YOUR PERFECT VICTIM
WHAT DID I DO MAKES YOU THINK THERE'S ANY EXCUSE
I DONT GET IT IS IT YOUR LOW SELF OPINION
MAKES YOU TAKE PLEASURE IN MY PAIN
YOU'LL BE A BETTER MAN WHEN YOU ARE ON THE RECEIVING END
YOU WANNA BREAK ME DOWN THINK YOU CAN PUSH ME AROUND
YOU TRY AND BEAT ME INTO THE GROUND BUT YOU CANT BEAT ME
ONE TIME AND I'M GONE I'M LEAVING NOW
YOU WANNA BREAK ME DOWN THINK YOU CAN PUSH ME AROUND
YOU TRY AND BEAT ME INTO THE GROUND BUT YOU CANT BEAT ME
MAN OF MY DREAMS
WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE SOMEONE LIKE YOU
MAN OF MY DREAMS
WHERE'D YOU COME FROM
HOW DID I GET SO LUCKY
MAN OF MY DREAMS
