Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully
To the sound of your loneliness

Fleetwood Mac Lyrics
What is the only No 1 hit for Fleetwood Mac?
What is Fleetwood Mac's most famous song?
Why did Fleetwood Mac break up?
How old is Stevie Nicks?

Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost

Oh, thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Players only love you when they're playin'
Say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know

Now here I go again
I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
And have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness

Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
Ooh, what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Players only love you when they're playin'
Women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
Oh, thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Players only love you when they're playin'
Say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know
You will know
Oh, you'll know

Now there you go again
You say you want your freedom
Who am I to keep you down now?
It's only right that you should
Play it the way that you feel it
But listen carefully
To the sound of your loneliness

Like a heartbeat drives you mad (heartbeat)
In the stillness of remembering what you had (stillness, lonely)
And what you lost
Oh say what you had (ooh)
You know what you lost (ahh)

Thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Players only love you when they're playin'
They say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know

Here I go again
I see the crystal vision
I keep my visions to myself, yeah
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
And have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Loneliness

Like a heartbeat drives you mad (heartbeat)
In the stillness of remembering what you had (stillness, lonely)
And what you lost
Who says what you had? (ooh)
You know what you lost (ahh)

Thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Players only love you when they're playin'
They say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
Oh, thunder only happens when it's rainin'
Players only love you when they're playin' (it for you)
They say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

You'll know
You will know
Oh, you'll know

Thank you very much

Fleetwood Mac Lyrics

"Dreams"

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness

Like a heartbeat... drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say... Women... they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean... you'll know, you'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and...
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness...

Like a heartbeat... drives you mad...
In the stillness of remembering what you had...
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know, you'll know
You will know, you'll know

Thanks to Summer McPherson, Resha, Naomy for correcting these lyrics.

Stevie Nicks wrote this song in 1976 in about 10 minutes. The rest of the band didn't like it when she first played it to them with Christine McVie describing the song as having "just three chords and one note in the left hand" and "boring". They changed their mind after Lindsey Buckingham "fashioned three sections out of identical chords, making each section sound completely different", but still being one song.

The line "Players only love you when they're playing" is about Lindsey Buckingham. Stevie Nicks recalled to The Daily Mail in October 2009, "I walked in and handed a cassette of the song to Lindsey. ...Even though he was mad with me at the time, Lindsey played it and then looked up at me and smiled. What was going on between us was sad. We were couples who couldn't make it through. But, as musicians, we still respected each other - and we got some brilliant songs out of it."

"Dreams" was released as the second single from the album in the United States and as the third single in the United Kingdom. The song reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the USA becoming the band's only number-one single there.

Lindsey Buckingham explained to Blender magazine, "We had to go through this elaborate exercise of denial keeping our personal feelings in one corner of the room while trying to be professional in the other." Every member of the band was going through relationship problems during the recording of the album.

The Corrs made a very successful cover version of this song for the album "Legacy: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours" (1998). Mick Fleetwood, who is a fan of The Corrs, had asked them to record it. They performed "Dreams" with him in their concert at the Royal Albert Hall on the 17th of March, 1998.

Stevie Nicks contributed her vocals to a remake of this song by DJ and house music duo Deep Dish for their album "George Is On" (2005).
