(originally by Beyonce)





We've been hanging on by a thread

Holding on to what's in the past

When you can see it in my eyes

You know our loving is dead

Still we put on a show

Acting like it's gonna be alright

Clouds cover the stars up in your sky

And it's gonna rain

Just waking up one last lullaby

What kinda dream is this?



Used to be a sweet dream

Now you're a beautiful nightmare

Either way I just wanna sleep around

Sweet dream, now you're a beautiful nightmare

Somebody pinch me, I just wanna sleep around you

Without you, without you

Cause baby when I sleep around you

Around you, it ain't no sweet dream

It's just a beautiful nightmare



Can you tell me why we can't bag this?

Like we ain't had enough practice

You used to be so real

And now you're just so plastic

And if it's too broke don't fix it

Gotten away, then I've been found

I remember when we used to be so in sync

But baby those da-ay-ays is gone

I really, really wanna have sweet dreams

I don't wanna see your pretty face get mad

Baby girl, I used to love you oh so much

But you just made my dream into a pretty nightmare

I'm saying, were we ever in love

Maybe I daydreamed that

I know I gave you my heart

But baby I'm a need that back



Used to be a sweet dream

Now you're a beautiful nightmare

Either way I just wanna sleep around

Sweet dream, now you're a beautiful nightmare

Somebody pinch me, I just wanna sleep around you

Without you, without you

Cause baby when I sleep around you

Around you, it ain't no sweet dream

It's just a beautiful nightmare



Clouds cover the stars up in your sky

Guess we can have one last lullaby

My love, you used to be a sweet dream

Now you're a beautiful nightmare

Either way I just wanna sleep without you

Cause you're a beautiful nightmare

Somebody pinch me, I just wanna sleep without



Used to be a sweet dream

Now you're a beautiful nightmare

Either way I just wanna sleep around

Sweet dream, now you're a beautiful nightmare

Somebody pinch me, I just wanna sleep around you

Without you, without you

Cause baby when I sleep around you

Around you, it ain't no sweet dream

It's just a beautiful nightmare

Just a beautiful nightmare

You're such a beautiful nightmare
