Steppenwolf - Sleep lyrics

rate me

Words and music by George Biondo

Please don't talk no more

It's just that I'm half asleep

And not a sudden case of nasty manner

You've been here all night

Just waiting for the final line

to make this more than a warm encounter

I'm tired and I want to go to bed

I need some time to rest my weary head

With all your worry about the things I need

Why don't you let me

Why don't you let me

Why don't you let me sleep

Please turn out the light

I don't care if you stay or go

Just as long as I can get some shut eye

And if I don't reply to all your mumbling in the dark

It's your fault that I'm too tired to answer

I'm tired and I want to go to bed

I need some time to rest my weary head

And if there's one more night like one of these

Then you better let me, you better let me

You better let me sleep
