lyrics

Can’t Sleep
I can’t sleep this evening
It’s the third time this week
I can’t sleep this evening
I’m shook up over my sugar and me
She won’t call to give me
Not a reason to believe
That it’s half past three in the morning
and she’s loving every man but me
If she only knew
That every beat in my heart is true
Maybe she might see
Just the kind of man I’m trying to be
Woke up this morning
I had tears all in my eyes
Wish that I could ﬁnd a way
Not to cry myself awake every night
She won’t discredit or suﬃciently edit
The suspicion that’s in my mind
Give me rest baby don’t make me guess
Or maybe I should just read between your lies
If you’d only see
How precious our love could be
Maybe you might know
How far our love could really go
Can’t sleep and Im tired
Can’t sleep It ain’t right
Can’t sleep and Im tired
Can’t sleep It ain’t right
If you only knew
That every beat in my heart is true
Maybe you might see
Just the kind of man I’m trying to be lord
that I’m trying to be for you
Can’t sleep and I'm tired
Can’t sleep It ain’t right
