Em  C
[Verse 1]
    EmI know you love me, you say it every daCy
And you let me inside, but not all the waDy
'Cause someone's watchiAmng and it's something I can't shEmake
You never said her name out loud to mCe
But I can feel it with you when you're asleDep
Is she a nightmaAmre or the sweetest of sweet dreEmams?

I need to know, I need to know
[Chorus]
'Cause CI know I could Dmake you happy
