[Intro: Nick]
Oh-oh, oh-oh yeah
Oh-no, yeah

[Verse 1: Nick & All]
Shorty ain't got cable (cable)
She ain't even got a radio ('dio)
Way more than able (able)
What kind of girl should I take her for?
The perfect kind, just what I like (like)
Exactly what I had in my mind
A dream, she's a dream yeah
Shorty don't know I'm on the red carpet
Almost every night ('vry night)
And when I'm outta town to go and do work
I'm first class every flight ('vry flight)
If she takes the time to open her eyes (eyes)
She can realize that she's a dream
'Cause she knows me

[Chorus: Nick with All]
'Cause shorty don't know who I am
She don't know I'm a celebrity
'Cause when I let her meet my fam
Ain't nobody mention my pedigree
'Cause every time I take her out
We always in the VIP
'Cause shorty don't know who I am
But she knows me ('cause she's a dream)
That's why I make her say, "oooh"
Make her say, "aah"
Make her say, "oooh"
Make her say, "aah" ('cause she's a dream)

[Interlude: Nick]
Shorty don't know who I am

[Verse 2: Brian & All]
And I'm cool with that if she says so (says so)
I ain't even gotta lie to her (to her)
And when I'm out making pesos (pesos)
Ain't nobody treat her like I do her
'Cause I'm the one that she thinks about
The only one on her mind
She's a dream 'cause she's knows me
Shorty don't know that I'm on the stage
Like 3 or 4 times a week (a week)
She don't even know I've been around the world
And all the different girls I meet (I meet)
But there's just one face that I see (see)
She's a dream
'Cause she knows me (she knows me)

[Chorus: Nick, Brian with All]
'Cause shorty don't know who I am (oh-oh!)
She don't know I'm a celebrity
'Cause when I let her meet my fam
Ain't nobody mention my pedigree (my pedigree)
'Cause every time I take her out
We always in the VIP
'Cause shorty don't know who I am (who I am)
But she knows me ('cause she's a dream)
Oh, that's why I make her say, "oooh"
Make her say, "aah"
Make her say, "oooh"
Make her say, "aah" ('cause she's a dream)

[Bridge: Howie, All & AJ]
See shorty don't know who I am
That's not good for us (us)
'Cause I know it's not good to fuss (fuss)
And I know she loves me for me
And I love her for her
But it wouldn't work
If she ever gave a damn 'bout who I am
But she knows me

[Chorus: Nick with All, AJ]
'Cause shorty don't know who I am
She don't know I'm a celebrity (celebrity, oh-oh!)
'Cause when I let her meet my fam
Ain't nobody mention my pedigree
'Cause every time I take her out (her out)
We always in the VIP (VIP, oh-oh!)
'Cause shorty don't know who I am
But she knows me (she knows me, oh-oh!)
('Cause she's a dream)
"Oooh"
Make her say, "aah"
Make her say, "oooh" (ooh-ooh)
Make her say, "aah" ('cause she's a dream)

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
