Saadiq, Raphael - Day Dreams Lyrics
Have you ever wanted to
Buy someone you love somethin'
But you couldn't afford it?
But you just bought it anyway
You know how that go
Yes, I'm livin' on daydreams
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford, uh huh
Yes, I'm livin' on daydreams
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford, uh huh
When the price ain't right
And everythin' ain't lookin' right
But you still want it all, uh huh
This line is long but still I ponder
This here check won't last until October
Than bringin' my gifts to you
Oh, I'm livin' on daydreams
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford, uh huh
Yes, I'm livin' on daydreams
I'm gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford, uh huh
When the sun comes out I find myself
Spendin' money on foolish necessities, mmm hmm
This woman I got is worth a lot
But man she sure hits the spot
Nothin' more special
Than bringin' them gifts to you
I'm livin' on daydreams
I'm gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford, uh huh
Yes, I'm livin' on daydreams
I'm gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford, uh huh
Yes, I'm livin' on daydreams
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford
Yes, I am livin' on daydreams
I'm gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford, like I said
When the sun comes out I find myself
Spendin' money on foolish necessities, uh huh, see ya
This woman I got is worth a lot
But man she sure hits the spot
Nothin' more special
Than bringin' them gifts to you
Yeah, I'm livin' on daydreams
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford
I'm livin' on daydreams
I'm gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford
With bad credit and all, baby
I'm livin' on daydreams
I'm gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford
Even if I have to take it back next month
I'm living on daydreams
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford
Even if I have to borrow from my other girlfriend
I'm living on daydreams
Gon' buy me somethin' I can't afford
Just for you, it makes me feel good
Whenever I buy somethin' special for you
It makes me feel good, yes, it does
I'm livin' on daydreams
Yes, I am, livin' on daydreams
It's like the sunshine
Makes me feel good, alright

Saadiq, Raphael Day Dreams Comments
I love the old school sound of this song.
So churchy! Love it
On ear phones
Omg supa great
$TAR BEATZ
Fascinating!🔵💙🔵
His talent is beyond..
Apple should've used this song in their ad for the iPhone XS Max
This has the Memphis sound, maybe, Elvis...This is all Raphael S., though..."Livin on day dreams."
I live on daydreams thinking about you Raphael Saadiq just wondering what it would be like getting to know you even more and laugh afterwards
the bass line tho!!
hahahahaha! great message, fun music!
this is a good song for shopaholics. if you see this video before you go shopping I bet you you'll change.
Such a fun song.
I bet that's exactly how Abed acts when the other Community guys aren't around.
One thing that I love about Raphael is that he loves what he does. Just the artistry and the instruments he plays in his songs. Plus he look so youthful and happy. Peace and blessing to him always for putting his heart and soul into his productions.
pero que cancion mas buenaaaaaa (:
Abed!!!
wish i could see this song being made in the studio and hearing the women do the do ops and background vocals like old times lol
who's playing that slide guitar?!?!?
@Chris Harada robert randolph he calls him out @1:37
Robert Randolph
Sounds like Raphael had been listening to Mose Allison.
I like it !
I miss music like this
This is my first time hearing this song/video and I gotta say it feels like Pharrell stole the "Happy" concept from this.
Possibility but as for Saadiq he stole this groove from Ray Charles.
GEEEENIUUUUUUUUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am 23 and i want to kill my time with this sounds, not dead pop fucking head
Wait. What? Raphael has been producing music independently for years now. Not to mention music that doesn't even chart in America. Doesn't one have to sell one's soul for that?
sold his soul to the same peops who made him sing this song! damn :(
wait, isn't this one of the guys from Toni, Tone, Tony?
Lol EavOfFierceBattle... Black don't crack honey.
Ness | Day Dreams †
who did Raphael Saadiq have to sell his soul to to look 25 at age 47?!?
I wish Troy was in the video too
Why is abed in this?
*Sees Raphael Saadiq's Prius advertisement before the actual video*
Love it. Do not Live on DayDreams and you will be all right.
ABED!!!!!
Hahaha what a cool video!
6 seasons, a movie, and a Music Video
6 seasons and a movie !
one half of the choncords directed this
A-B-E-D !
this is only 62 views...you need commas in the number not dots....
Cool. Cool cool cool.
Man if he is 45 he has aged absolutely flawlessly.... I assumed he was in his 20's. Mind blown.
Abed from community! :DDD
ITS A-BED
AAAAABBBBBEEEDDDDD!!!!!
mad cute, haha
Amen to that!
He spent approx the first 3 yrs of his life in the 60's!!!! What baby/toddler musician do you know??? He was born in the 60's but from a music sense he isn't from the 60's. Sam Cooke is from the 50's and 60's, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder!!!! Those guys were from the 60's. Raphael, however has been influenced by that music even though it wasn't his era. Think about it!
that makes no sense if so he'll be 40 something & still would teach us what music is!
Raphael Saadiq is 45. He IS from the 60s.
I came here by accident, looking for another vid. What a personal discovery! This guy just... just WOW.
6 SONGS AND AN ALBUM!
Abed reminds me of Sheldon on Big Bang theory.
ABED!!!!! :D
Bret Mckenzie directed this video! :)
is that the guy from Mad tv if it iis he's unrecognizable with hair
DUDE?! ABED IS IN AN ALTERNATE DIMENSION!
COMMUNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#savecommunity
holy fuck, thats Abed!! and that old lady i saw on Parks and Rec!
I just got into Raphael Saadiq and I cannot get enough of him. Seriously, he has the best sound.
Sympa et entrainant
complètement décalé, rythme prenant. on se laisse prendre !
Raphael looks like Talib Kweli with those shades and hat on.
I swear my son and uncle looks just like him. Anyhoot, check out my son Kevin Wiggins a.k.a. The Threat @ YouTube.com/threatbaby1.
ABED!!!! <3
The llama @ the end is my hero XD
1 person doesn't know who Abed is.
Raphael Saadiq is always bringing back this Old Skool flava we all missed! LOVE it :)
1 person just had to ruin it all for everyone
Abed. What's up with R&B singers using TV stars in their videos (ahem, Cee-Lo)?
@FattieAcidProduction Just cause I don't like one song that you enjoy means I automatically listen to bad music? I don't even listen to 50cent motherfucker. I can still like other songs by this guy but not particularly enjoy this one song as much. I listen to a plethora of good music and your not one to judge a random person on the internet for disagreeing with your particular taste in music. I like plenty of Raphael Saadiq and this song is decent but I prefer the slower soulful songs over this
It must be hard to get into that girl's pants. She's got about 13 buttons all the way up to her navel.
Living beyond your means is BAD.
This man just makes me so happy. Pure pleasure to the ears and the eyes. Love ya Raphael!!! Next time you're in NYC performing I'm gonna be there!! <3
Abed can sing, apparently.
I think Raphael Saadiq is from the 60's and he hopped in a time machine to come to the future and teach us what music really is! This guy rocks!!!
@theOriginalBurgos96 see you my friend dont listen to real music like this, you were gonna switch but you didnt because thats "abid" from community? go listen to your 50cent
Goodstuff as ever, Raphael. Hongera.
It says zero views? :/
So this is how people get in debt. LOL! Great song!
I was gona switch the song a little early...then I saw Daniel Pudi aka Abed from Community and I freaked out
in the end ... daaaam funny ... wit Lama :D
Nice Very nice! +100!!! but ... wherez great band TonyToniTone?
Such groove.
:)
nice song
