Just A Dream is a song performed by the St. Louis rapper Nelly. The song was written by Nelly, Rico Love, and Frank Romano and produced by Jim Jonsin. It was released on August 16, 2010, and serves as the lead single from Nelly’s upcoming sixth studio album, Nelly 5.0. In the Inception-inspired clip, Nelly takes a walk alone on the beach, thinking about a woman he couldn’t commit to. As a house, wedding ring, and car float around him, he recalls the good times with her. And then it goes south. The house crumbles while the car and ring burn. Nelly’s love drowns in the ocean, refusing his attempts to save her. But just before we see her fade completely, Nelly wakes up in his car. Was it all a dream? You be the judge when you check out the video after the jump. The Just A Dream lyrics are displayed below.
Nelly – Just A Dream Song Words
I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me.
Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream.
So I travel back, down that road.
Who she come back? No one knows.
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream.
I was at the top and I was like I’m at the basement.
Number one spot and now she found her a replacement.
I swear now I can’t take it, knowing somebody’s got my baby.
And now you ain’t around, baby I can’t think.
Shoulda put it down. Shoulda got that ring.
Cuz I can still feel it in the air.
See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair.
My lover, my life. My shorty, my wife.
She left me, I’m tied.
Cuz I knew that it just ain’t right.
I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me.
Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream.
So I travel back, down that road.
Who she come back? No one knows.
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream.
When I be ridin man I swear I see her face at every turn.
Tryin to get my usher over, I can let it burn.
And I just hope she notice she the only one I yearn for.
Oh I miss her when will I learn?
Didn’t give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback.
Now I’m in the club thinkin all about my baby.
Hey, she was so easy to love. But wait, I guess that love wasn’t enough.
I’m goin through it every time that I’m alone.
And now i’m missin, wishin she’d pick up the phone.
But she made a decision that she wanted to move one.
Cuz I was wrong.
And I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me.
Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream.
So I travel back, down that road.
Who she come back? No one knows.
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream.
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
And now they’re gone and you wish you could give them everything.
I said, if you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
And now they’re gone and you wish you could give them everything.
