reasons for losing sleep
the man across the hallway is keeping me awake
he’s banging nails into picture rails
and it never fails
to stop me from sleeping
i don’t know what i’ve done to deserve this
i really don’t know what i’ve done to deserve this
i knock three times to stop him - he just knocks back
i bang on the wall to tell him - he just bangs on
the man i met at the weekend is making me lose sleep
ignoring my e-mails but sleeping with females
well, spare me the details
they stop me from sleeping
i don’t know what i’ve done to deserve this
i really don’t know what i’ve done to deserve this
the bedroom burns as i toss and turn - but don’t sleep
the daylight streams through the curtains - i can’t sleep
you’re not the only one keeping me awake tonight
so many reasons for losing sleep
but don’t forget that only one of them is you
the never-ending nailing is making me lose sleep
and even if it were to stop
well, the banging would just keep on regardless
i know exactly what i’ve done to deserve this
i know exactly what i’ve done to deserve this
i clear my mind and the noise just disappears
i clear my mind and the noise all disappears
i’m not the only one keeping myself awake tonight
so many reasons for losing sleep
but don’t forget that only one of them is you
