I didn’t sleep well last night
And that’s all thanks to you
Babe, you know that it isn’t right
That you don’t know what you do to me
I’ll keep it all to myself
For as long as I can
I’ll keep my mouth shut for once
At least when it comes to this
Better that you didn’t know
Than I share with you my weakness
Better that I take control
Fall asleep, and stop this dreaming of you
I’ll just stay awake for the rest of my life
Or until I learn to get you off my mind
I’ll just try to shake all this yearning inside
And I won’t be won over by your smiling eyes
Don’t even know you that well
In fact it’s kind of dumb
That I would be drawn to you
That you would even become
The source of my insomnia
Better that you didn’t know
Than I share with you my feelings
Better that I take control
And find a way to get over it.
I’ll just stay awake for the rest of my life
Or until I learn to get you off my mind
I’ll just try to shake all this yearning inside
And I won’t be won over by your smiling eyes
This will be the only time
That I write a song about you
I’ll erase you from my mind
If this is the last thing I do
I do
I’ll just stay awake for the rest of my life
Or until I learn to get you off my mind
I’ll just try to shake all this yearning inside
And I won’t be won over by your smiling eyes
