Ooo-we-baby, I had a real bad dream last night 
Yeah, baby, I had a real bad dream last night 
It started 'bout four this mornin' and It last 'till broad day light 
Well I tossed and tumbled baby, Lord, until the crack of dawn 
Yeah I-I-I tossed 'till the crack of dawn 
Then I woke up screamin', 'cause I dreamed that you had gone 
I put my hand on your pillow 
To see if ev'thing was still okay 
But I should have known baby 
You were gone to stay 
I woke up screamin' 
And I'm still in misery 
And I'll keep right on screamin' 
'Till you come back home to me, yeah 
Woo! oh oh! Alright baby! 
I put my hand on your pillow 
To see if ev'thing was still okay 
But I should have known baby 
You were gone-on-on-on-on 
I woke up screamin' 
And I'm still in misery 
And I'll keep right on screamin' 
'Till you've come back home to me 
Ah, ah, ah
