I'm Not Sleepin' Songtext

von Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

When the town fool is a liar
And he's preaching to the choir
You've got a lot of explaining that you do
You see, no one likes a quitter it makes us oh, so bitter
So drop your hat and sit for awhile

Ya see, every now and again we struggle with our past
We try to stare it in the eye and pray that
It won't last Most questions that get answered,
They never make much sense
But I decided that I care,
And I'll get right down to it And I said

I've stopped sleepin',
I told myself I'd never close my eyes again
I'm not sleepin',
I'm doin' now the best that I can

Well, I like it when you sit,
And get straight down to it
It suits you more than anyone will admit 'cause
There's something in the air and no one seems to care
Nobody will stand up, not even on a dare.

It's funny how we fool them with tears behind our smile
So tried and true, we plow right through and hope it's worth the while
Most questions that get answered,
They never make much sense
But I decided that I care,
And I'll get right down to it!
