Day Dreams Lyrics by Raphael Saadiq

Stone Rollin’

2011

[Spoken Intro]
Have you ever wanted to
Buy someone you love somethin'
But you couldn't afford it
But you just bought it anyway?
You know how that go

[Verse 1]
Yes, I'm livin' on daydreams
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford, uh huh
Yes, I'm livin' on daydreams
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford, uh huh
When the price ain't right
And everything ain't lookin' right
But you still want it all, uh huh
This line is long but still I ponder
This here check won't last 'til October
But nothin' more special than bringin' my gifts to you

[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm livin' on daydreams (Livin' on daydreams, livin' on daydreams)
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford (Livin' on daydreams)
Uh huh (Livin' on daydreams)
Yes, I'm livin' on daydreams
(Livin' on daydreams, livin' on daydreams)
I'm gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford (Livin' on daydreams)
Uh huh (Livin' on daydreams)
When the sun comes out I find myself
Spendin' money on foolish necessities, mhm
This woman I got is worth a lot
But man, she sure hits the spot
Nothin' more special than bringin' them gifts to you, ooh wee

[Bridge]
I'm livin' on daydreams
(Livin' on daydreams, livin' on daydreams)
I'm gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford (Livin' on daydreams)
Uh huh (Livin' on daydreams)
Yes, I'm livin' on daydreams
(Livin' on daydreams, livin' on daydreams)
I'm gonna buy me somethin' I can't afford (Livin' on daydreams)
Uh huh (Livin' on daydreams)
Take it home, take it home
Ooh, alright, a little bit of Randolph
Oh oh oh

[Verse 3]
Yes, I'm livin' on daydreams
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford, yes, I am
Livin' on daydreams
I'm gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford, like I said
When the sun comes out I find myself
Spendin' money on foolish necessities, uh huh
See uh, this woman I got is worth a lot
But man she sure hits the spot
Nothin' more special than bringin' them gifts to you

[Outro]
Yeah, I'm livin' on daydreams
(Livin' on daydreams, livin' on daydreams)
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford
I'm livin' on daydreams
(Livin' on daydreams, livin' on daydreams)
I'm gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford
With bad credit and all, baby
I'm livin' on daydreams
(Livin' on daydreams, livin' on daydreams)
I'm gonna buy me somethin' I can't afford
Even if I have to take it back next month
I'm livin' on daydreams
(Livin' on daydreams, livin' on daydreams)
Gonna buy me somethin' I can't afford
Even if I have to borrow from my other girlfriend, ha
I'm living on daydreams
(Livin' on daydreams, livin' on daydreams)
Gonna buy me somethin' I can't afford
Just for you, it makes me feel good (Livin' on daydreams)
Whenever I buy somethin' 'specially for you (Livin' on daydreams)
It makes me feel good (Livin' on daydreams), yes, it does
(Livin' on daydreams)
I'm livin' on daydreams
Yes, I am, livin' on daydreams (Livin' on daydreams)
It's like the sunshine (Livin' on daydreams)
Makes me feel good, alright
