The other night dear As I lay smug in my bed I had a bad dream That really woke my head Well, I turned and I turned I woke up and I was so glad to learn That I hadn't lost you It was a bad nightmare I had to call you To try and ease my mind I couldn't get you Party line So I walked to your home And found out that all your lights were on That says to me I've lost you I'm like a bad nightmare Nightmare That's what I had Nightmare You know they make me feel bad I've really lost you My life's a bad nightmare Can you imagine The night that I went through? I had a bad dream It's always coming through If your love I can't keep Then I'll wish that I had died in my sleep If I really lost you My life's a bad nightmare Nightmare Hey, I lost my baby Nightmare Somebody help me Nightmare Do you know what I mean?
