[Intro: Ol' Skool]
Am I dreaming, baby?
Are you for real?

[Verse 1: Ol' Skool, Tiny]
Things are kind of hazy
And my head's all cloudy inside (Inside)
Now I've heard talk of angels, baby (Yes, baby)
But never thought I would have one to call mine
(Never thought)

[Pre-Chorus: Tiny]
See you are just too good to be true
And I hope
There's not some kinda mirage
With you, oh baby

[Chorus: Ol' Skool & Xscape]
Am I dreaming? (Am I dreaming?)
Am I just imagining you're here in my life
Am I dreaming?
Pinch me to see if it's real
'Cause my mind can't decide
('Cause my mind can't decide)
No, oh, oh oh oh
No, oh, oh oh oh

[Verse 2: Ol' Skool, Kandi]
Will this last for one night
(Or do I have you for a lifetime?)
Please say that it's forever
And that it's not an illusion to my eye

[Pre-Chorus: LaTocha Scott]
And I, I hope
That you just don't up and disappear
My love I pray
That it's not a hoax and it's for real, oh

[Chorus: Ol' Skool & Xscape]
Am I dreaming? (Tell me, tell me, tell me, baby)
Am I just imagining you're here in my life
(Am I just imagining you're with me here in my life, baby?)
Am I dreaming?
(Tell me, baby)
Pinch me to see if it's real
'Cause my mind can't decide

[Bridge: Keith Sweat, Tamika Scott]
Hear me out now
Sometimes, say that sometimes
I need you to show me, girl
(Oh baby)
Show me that you're not a mirage
(I need you)
I need you
(Oh, I need you to pinch me, baby)
I need you to pinch me, baby
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah)
Am I...

[Chorus: Ol' Skool, Xscape, Keith Sweat]
Am I dreaming? (Baby, baby)
Am I just imagining you're here in my life?
Am I dreaming?
(Help me out, my baby)
(Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, baby, baby)
Teach me to see if it's real
'Cause my mind can't decide

[Outro: Ol' Skool, LaTocha Scott, Keith Sweat]
I can't decide, no, no
(Oh baby, touch me, baby, feel me, baby)
(I wanna know if you'll be right there)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah)
(I wanna know if you'll be right there)
Tell me this is not an illusion
(I want you to feel me, baby)
(I wanna know if you'll be right there)
Somebody let me know
(If it's real)
This is not a mirage, no
(I wanna know if you'll be right there)
(Said I want a pinch, baby)
Oh oh baby
