Somebody Stole My Dream
[Intro]
Ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 1]
I never thought
The day would ever come, baby
When you'd avoid my eye
Just like the burnin' sun

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I saw it all begin, baby
When you turned your lovin' eyes from me to him
You cut me all loose
Just like a piece of string
You turned your back on me
And you walked away with him

[Chorus]
Somebody
Somebody stole my dream from me
Somebody
Somebody stole my baby from me

Ooh, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, huh

[Verse 2]
Every mornin'
At 7:45, baby
You'd call to say that you loved me
The moment you opened up your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I still wait here for your call, baby
If I had any sense, I'd tear the phone out of the wall
I can hear you now
Hear your sweet lovin' sound
I know you're telling him
How he's your everything

[Chorus]
Somebody
Somebody stole my dream from me
Somebody
Somebody stole my baby from me

[Bridge]
Oh, how you knifed me with those words, baby
"I'm sorry it's not you, it's him that I prefer'
But it hurt me more, so don't try to explain
I saw your picture in the paper, beside your future name

[Chorus]
Somebody
Somebody stole my dream from me
Somebody
Somebody stole my baby from me
Somebody
Somebody stole my dream from me
