Ricky about ‘Amoureux des Rêves’

That was written years ago, a really old one, and Scarlett heard it, I’d given her a copy of the demo, and as we were coming up to do the album Scarlett said, ‘have you thought about doing Dream Lover’? I’d actually totally forgotten the song. And then she sent me the copy that I’d sent her, I heard it and I thought ‘yes, this could be really good’. She said ‘It could be great for Kim! What are you talking about?’ And of course she was right. (1)

Lyrics

I been spending all my days watching everything you do,
Oh I gotta find a way to get my body next to you,
Yeah there’s something in your eyes, tells me that you feel it too.
I can’t breathe,
Cant sleep,
Try to run can’t move and it’s taking me over…

You’re a dreamlover,
Whatever you got, you gotta gimme some.
Be my dreamlover,
Ready or not, you gotta give me some.

Watch the rhythm of your dance,
Feel you hypnotise my soul,
Dreams are slipping thru my hands,
I’m trying not to lose control.
There’s a fire in my heart, but I know tonight will feel so cold.

I want you to want me,
Need love right now and it’s taking me over…

You’re a dreamlover,
Whatever you got, you gotta gimme some.
Be my dreamlover,
Ready or not, you gotta give me some.
(baby I need it)..
Be my dreamlover,
Ready or not, you gotta give me some, give me some, give me some.

Oh, j’ai tant rêvé d’être ton rêve [I have dreamed for so long of being your dream]
Enfin je suis dans ton coeur [Finally, I am in your heart]
Enfin je viens dans ta vie [Finally, I come in your life]
Réel, Irréel [Real, Unreal]

Be my my lover..
(Baby I need it)
Dreamlover..
(Baby got to have it)
Baby yeah…

You’re a dreamlover,
Whatever you got, you gotta gimme some.
(Baby I need it)..
Be my dreamlover,
Ready or not, you gotta give me some..
(Baby got to have it)..
You’re a dreamlover,
Whatever you got, you gotta gimme some.
(Baby I need it)..
So be my dreamlover,
Ready or not, you gotta give me some, give me some, give me some.
