[Intro]
Woah, woah, woah
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh, yeah)
Woah, woah, woah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Woo, woo-ooh
[Verse 1]
When I first saw you, baby, baby, I wanted to die
Me and those dreamin' eyes of mine started to cry (Woah, woah)
Then I'd dream (Oh, yeah)
Wishin' my fantasy (Oh) would soon become a reality (Oh)
'Cause every time I see you baby, baby, all I do is sigh
'Cause you're the most precious thing, baby
That my dreamin' eyes has ever seen (Oh, baby)
So I continue to dream
Me and those dreamin' eyes of mine (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Is it just)
Is it just that you're the finest little thing that I ever saw?
(Is it my)
Or is my imagination runnin' too far?
(Oh, yeah)
Or is it that my eyes are tellin' me something you could never see?
(Oh)
Somethin' like me being with you and you being with me
Woah, woah, woah
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh, yeah)
Woah, woah, woah

I'd treat her like a queen (Just like a queen)
Just like I do in all my dreams, yeah (Oh-oh-oh)
If you only knew how many times, yeah (That I think of you)

About
Genius Annotation
On Brown Sugar’s fourth single, D'Angelo illustrates his feelings for his long-time crush in hopes of finally making the move to pursue her. This was one of the songs he created in his Richmond, Virginia bedroom studio before connecting with producer/engineer Bob Power to record the track at Battery Studios in New York City.
The song was remixed by DJ Premier and twice by Erick Sermon—one version featuring Redman and the second version featuring a sample of Common’s single “I Used To Love H.E.R.”
