(I've Got To) Sleep with One Eye Open Songtext

von Shirley Brown

I've got to sleep with one eye open
'Cause this man won't leave me alone
I've gotta sleep with one eye open
'Cause this man won't leave me alone, mmm-mmm
All he wanta do is make love
Keepin' me up all night long

You gotta be careful what you ask for
'Cause you just might get it, well
I wanted a man that I could care for
That knew how to hit it, ooh-ooh
But sometimes I want to change my mind
'Cause he's at me all the time, mmm-mmm

That's why I got to sleep with one eye open
'Cause this man won't leave me alone, no, no
Whoo, I got to sleep with one eye open
'Cause this man won't leave me alone
All he wanta do is make love
Keepin' me up all night long (All night long, all night long)
I get so tired

I've got to lay up in bed through cookin'
(Bed through cookin')
So I can get a little rest, hmm-hmm
'Cause when he comes home, he'll be lookin'
(He'll be lookin')
And pulling at my dress, well
His name is like a love machine
The damndest thing I've ever seen

That's why I got to sleep with one eye open
'Cause this man won't leave me alone
(Leave me alone), Oh no (He got to leave me alone)
Whoo, I got to sleep with one eye open
'Cause this man won't leave me alone
(Leave me alone), Oh no (He got to leave me alone)
All he wanta do is make love
Keepin' me up all night long
(All night long, all night long, ooh-oooh)

All he wanta do is make love
Keepin' me up all night long
(All night long, all night long, ooh-ooh), Ooh

That's why I got to sleep with one eye open
'Cause this man won't leave me alone
(Leave me alone), Oh no (He got to leave me alone)
Whoo, I got to sleep with one eye open
'Cause this man won't leave me alone
(Leave me alone, he got to leave me alone)
All he wanta do is make love
Keepin' me up all night long
(All night long, all night long, ooh-ooh), Mm-mmm

I've got to sleep with one eye open
Said I got to sleep with one eye open, oooh
I got to sleep with one eye open
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open
All he wanta do is make love
Keepin' me up all night long
(All night long, all night long, ooh-ooh)

I've got to sleep with one eye open
Said I got to sleep with one eye open, oooh
I've got to sleep with one eye open
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open
All he wanta do is... FADE
