Cheatin’ in Your Dreams Songtext
von Meat Loaf

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 and make me shake
You controlling every move I make

I couldn′t see 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 what it seems?
You told me I'm your greatest lover
Do you even know what that word means?


Your lovin′ is coolin'
Baby who d'you think you′re foolin′?
'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 threw my hands around her neck
And everything went blurred

Broken, broken
She slipped from out my hands
She lay so still and lifeless
I cried baby, baby, baby

How could you say there was no other?
Why is it nothing what it seems?
You told me I'm your greatest lover
Do you even know what that word means?

Your lovin′ is coolin'
Baby who d'you think you′re foolin′?
'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
When my whole world shook
I′d had about enough
When I woke up
I caught you cheatin′ in your dreams

(Cheatin', cheatin′)
(Cheatin' in your dreams)
(Cheatin′, cheatin')
(Cheatin′ in your dreams)

(Cheatin', cheatin')
(Cheatin′ in your dreams)
(Cheatin′, cheatin')
(Cheatin′ in your dreams)
