Sleep Lyrics - Skullduggery - Steppenwolf

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 

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

I need some time to rest my weary head 

Then you better let me, you better let me 

You better let me sleep
