Tell Me I’m Not Dreaming
[Intro – Whispered + Group Harmony Swell Jodeci / Boyz || Men Style]
Tell me I’m not dreaming… Don’t let me wake up alone… Baby… If this ain’t real, I don’t wanna know…
[Chorus – Big, Crying-Through-The-Notes Energy Jodeci / Boyz || Men Style]
Tell me, baby, you want this
I’m hanging on your every kiss
Don’t let my heart fall into nothing
Say it’s love — say it’s something
I can’t breathe when you pull away
Don’t leave me drowning in yesterday
If you feel it, don’t resist
Tell me, baby… you want this
[Verse 1 – Jodeci Style Raw Emotionally Exposed]
I don’t recognize myself lately
You softened edges that once saved me
I used to run when love got close
Now I’m afraid of losing you the most
I built these walls brick by brick
Swore nobody would get in this deep
But you walked through without a sound
Now you’re the only peace I’ve found
When you go quiet, I start to panic
Every silence feels Titanic
If your heart shifts even an inch
Mine unravels, thread by stitch
I never needed anyone before
Now I’m kneeling at your door
[Pre-Chorus – Lift into Harmony Jodeci Style]
Don’t make me stand here guessing
Don’t leave my soul undressing
I’m giving you my confession
Don’t turn this into a lesson
[Chorus – Bigger, More Intense Jodeci / Boyz || Men Style]
Tell me, baby, you want this
I’m breaking down to one last wish
Don’t let my heart crash to pieces
Say you need me — say you mean it
I can’t sleep when you’re unsure
This kind of love ain’t built to endure
Silence like this
Tell me, baby… you want this
[Verse 2 – Jodeci-Style Raw Emotion
Fear of Abandonment / Raw Confession]
Truth is… I don’t just want you
I depend on the way you see me
You look at me like I’m worthy
Like I’m more than who I used to be
I’ve been loved halfway, left in fractions
Given passion with no traction
So if you’re unsure, say it now
Don’t build me up to break me down
You say “relax,” but you don’t know
How deep this river in me flows
If you pull back, I lose air
You’re the answer to every prayer
And that scares me…
How much power you have to end me
[Bridge – Stripped Down, Gospel Feel Jodeci / Boyz || Men Style]
Look me in my eyes and say it
Don’t let fear come in and break it
I don’t want a halfway love
I need the real… I need enough
If I’m too deep, then pull me closer
If I’m yours, then don’t stay sober
Let this feeling overflow
Don’t say maybe — say you know
(Baby I’m begging…)
[Final Chorus – Ad Lib Explosion Jodeci / Boyz || Men Style Raw Emotions]
Tell me, baby, you want this (want this!)
I can’t survive another almost kiss
Don’t let me love you all alone
Say I’m the one… say I’m your home
I’m on my knees inside this feeling
My heart is wide and it’s revealing
Don’t leave me hanging like this
Tell me, baby… you want this
[Outro – Fading Cry Jodeci Style]
Tell me I’m not dreaming…
Don’t let this fade away…
If you love me…
Baby… say it…
