Meat Loaf - Cheatin' In Your Dreams lyrics

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 made

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

Chorus:

How could you say there was no other,

why is it nothing`s 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 ya think you`re foolin`

`Cos 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 feel 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

(chorus)

(Cheatin`, cheatin`, cheatin` in your dreams)

(Cheatin`, cheatin`, cheatin` in your dreams)

It was my dumb luck, I just came unstuck

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) (repeats out)
