I STILL DREAM ABOUT YOU
Words & Music by Jim Best
Verse 1
I’m glad you’re calling tonight baby
I hope that I don’t make you sad
You say my English is improving
But I know that it’s still bad.
Verse 2
And I wish you’d learn some Spanish
It’s not just a lovin’ tongue
I’d like to tell you ‘bout my troubles
After all your songs are sung
Verse 3
Because I’m drinking too much baby
I know “Don’t do that”’s what you said
And most mornings when I wake up
I wake up wishing I was dead
Pre-Chorus
But don’t worry baby
I don’t do smack, don’t do cocaine
Don’t go sniffing that white powder
Don’t put a needle in my vein
Chorus
And I still dream about you
I still dream about you
I still dream about you
I still dream about you
Verse 4
I was working in a factory
A week ago I got the sack
And my sister took my money
Says she’ll never give it back
Verse 5
I think I’ll go up to Chicago
I got an uncle there I’ll see
Maybe he’s got some connections
And he can find a job for me.
Verse 6
But you know I’m still illegal
No green card, no fixed address
I won’t say how I make my living
But I think that you can guess
Pre-Chorus
Chorus x2
