Mhm-mhm-mhm 
Mhm-mhm-mhm, mmm-mm
I spent months gazing at him 
Sitting 'cross the hall 

His dark hair, his glasses 
Perfect overall 
He looked so serious 
He was mysterious (mm-mhm)

One Tuesday, he caught me sneaking in a stare 
He shot me a smile 
I nearly tumbled out my chair 
He said, "Who are you? My name is James" (mhm) 

And that's when I fell into the flames
Turns out he's a fool 
That James 
Oh, James 
Oh, how I wasted my days 

Oh, dreaming, dreaming of James?
He said, "Do you like museums? 
They're open late tonight (ooh) 

How about we go together, just you and I? (Ooh) 
And maybe we can have a drink or two (ooh) 
I'd like to learn about you"

But James just thought it was alright (aah) 
To go ahead and talk about himself all night (aah) 
Then he really felt he had to say (aah) 

That he'd be a millionaire one day
Turns out he's a fool 

That James 
Oh, James (aah-ah)
Oh, how I wasted my days 

Oh, dreaming, dreaming of James
Mhm-mhm-mhm 

(Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream)
My eyes rolled to the back of my head 

It seemed like the night would never end 
At one point, I just stopped listening 
His voice just became too sickening

Mhm-mhm-mhm 
(Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream)
