Oh I used to be your baby
Used to be your pride and joy
You used to take me dancing
Just like any other boy
But now you’ve found another partner
You’ve left me like a broken toy

Oh it’s someone else you’re taking
Someone else you’re playing to
Honey though I’m aching
Know just what I have to do
If I can’t have you when I’m waking
I’ll go to sleep and dream of you

Oh take me take me take me
To the dreamer’s ball
I’ll be right on time and I’ll dress so fine
You’re gonna love me when you see me
I won’t have to worry
Take me take me
Promise
‘Till it’s morning
It’s all been true

Oh take me take me take me
I’m your play thing now
You make my life worthwhile
With the slightest smile
Or destroy me with a barely perceptible whisper
Gently take me remember I’ll be dreaming of my baby
At the dreamer’s ball

Take me hold me
Remember what you told me
You’d meet me at the dreamer’s ball
I’ll meet you at the dreamer’s ball
