Another sleepless night
Why is this happening to me?
Sleep is my thing
How can this be?

TV on, TV off
It doesn't matter
There's no Mr. Sandman coming to my loft

Toss and turn
Counting sheep
Here I lie, still can't sleep

How I long for a nice long snooze
My eyes are wide open
Thinking of world peace and a cruise

The house is quiet
You can't hear a sound
No one to talk to
No one around

When will I sleep?
What's on my mind?
I want to dream
Everything will be fine

One, two, three, four.....
Keep counting, staring at the floor

Next thing I know
I'm waking up
Was I asleep very long?
I need some Folgers in my cup
