Jody’s gone now, I cried a lot
He had to go away
Oh but I miss him, I want to kiss him
Ain’t it just the way
But it’s no way at all
Cause if you knew what I’m going through you’d know
There’s one thing wrong with the way I’m living
Ain’t got my Jody no more

Hey, Mr. Dreammaker, send me a dream
This one is over
It’s not what it seems
And so tonight when I turn out the light
Send me a new dream tonight

He didn’t say much
Just a little touch and he was on the way
Oh I could have cried then
Instead I died there
He left me standing dazed
But it’s no use crying
That’s what everybody tells me
But they don’t seem to know
Cause there’s one thing wrong with the way I’m living
Ain’t got my Jody no more

Hey, Mr. Dreammaker, send me a dream
This one is over
It’s not what it seems
And so tonight when I turn out the light
Send me a new dream tonight

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, hey Mr. Dreammaker

Hey, Mr. Dreammaker, send me a dream
This one is over
It’s not what it seems
And so tonight when I turn out the light
Send me a new dream tonight
Send me a dream tonight

Hey, Mr. Dreammaker, send me a dream
This one is over
It’s not what it seems
And so tonight when I turn out the light
Send me a new dream tonight

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, hey Mr. Dreammaker
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
