One...Two...Three... One...Two...Three...(these bad dreams) One...Two...Three...(these bad dreams) Every night I toss and turn in my sleep And it hurts when I breathe And I'm gettin a little worried bout it The combination of the stress and the strain I ain't slept now for days And I just can't get my head around it With all the drama in the world that we live Will we learn how to give? I can't sit back and do nuttin bout it I wanna know whatever happened to love And compa**ion and d** 'Cause it seem like we forgot about it One time (Shake it off) Two times (Shake it off) Three times (Shake it off) (These bad dreams)
