You see me now as large as life
But underneath you knew all too well
The hollow shell no spark of life
Where once upon a time there beat a heart for you
And you knew it from the start
But you went and blew it all away

And you knew how, yeah you knew best
The strings to pull and the buttons to press
To wind me up and make me shake
You controlling every move I make
I couldn't see through it
All the pain
And you put me through it
Over and over again
Over and over ...

How could you say there was no other
Why is it nothing's what it seems
You told me I'm your greatest lover
Do you even know what that word means
You lovin' is coolin'
Baby who d'ya think you're foolin'
Cuz when I woke up
I caught you cheatin' in your dreams

Stop it, stop it
Don't you say a word
I felt my hands around her neck
And everything went blurred
Broken, broken
She slipped from out my hands
She lay so still and lifeless
I cried baby, baby, baby ...

How could you say there was no other
Why is it nothing's what it seems
You told me I'm your greatest lover
Do you even know what that word means
Your lovin' is coolin'

Baby who d'ya hink you're foolin'
Cuz when I woke up
I caught you cheatin' in your dreams
Cheatin', cheatin'
Cheatin' in your dreams
It was my dumb luck
I just came unstuck
When my whole world shook
I'd had about enough
Cuz when I woke up
I caught you cheatin' in your dreams

Meat Loaf

Meat Loaf (Marvin Lee Aday) is a rock artist from Texas. He is perhaps best known for his iconic sophomore album Bat Out Of Hell from 1977 and its successors. While Meat Loaf is known to have others such as the likes of Jim Steinman write and compose his songs, his powerful voice and performances have given him a renowned and reputable recognition.

During the mid to late 1980s, he quickly fell into obscurity after a series of albums which resulted in commercial and critical failure. However, in following and recent years, he has released more well-received material, as well as become a popular concert attraction.

Asides his music career, Meat Loaf has also found moderate success in his acting career. Some of his most notable appearances in film include Tenacious D and The Pick Of Destiny, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Wayne’s World.
