The man of my dreams just stepped out from the screen
And asked if I'd like a drink
The man of my dreams just stepped out from the screen
And said "My dear, what did you think?"
I said I'd seen better, he said he'd done worse
And explained they had pretty little time to rehearse
Watched the credits roll by with his hand on my thigh
And we cheered when it got to his name
The man of my dreams is just how he seems on the screen
As he is in my dreams
The man of my dreams is just how he seems on the screen
As he is in my dreams
We'd walk hand in hand with bare feet in the sand
He always pays, and he's a fan of my band
Says he'll love me forever now, true love forever now
This time it's gonna work out
Says he'll love me forever now, true love forever now
This time it's gonna work out
The man of my dreams is not at all how he seems
On the screen, he is larger than life
The man of my dreams ain't that large in real life
I know, I'm good friends with his wife
Says he'll love me forever now, true love forever now
This time it's gonna work out
Says he'll love me forever now, true love forever now
This time it's gonna work out
Ignoring the screams of the man of my dreams
All tied up in that shopping cart
I felt him stiffen as we edged near the cliff
And I paused to remove his hood
I looked up through the night at the moon shining bright
And I say, won't you tell me again?
Say you'll love me forever now, true love forever now
This time it's gonna work out
Say you'll love me forever now, true love forever now
This time it's gonna work out
