I’m Not Sleepin Lyrics
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Verse one
When the town fool is a liar
And hes preaching to the choir
Youve 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
Bridge
Ya see, every now and again we struggle with our past
We try to stare it in the eye and pray that
It wont last most questions that get answered,
They never make much sense
But I decided that I care,
And Ill get right down to it and I said
Chorus
Ive stopped sleepin,
I told myself Id never close my eyes again
Im not sleepin,
Im doin now the best that I can
Verse two
Well, I like it when you sit,
And get straight down to it
It suits you more than anyone will admit cause
Theres something in the air and no one seems to care
Nobody will stand up, not even on a dare.
Bridge
Its funny how we fool them with tears behind our smile
So tried and true, we plow right through and hope its worth the while
Most questions that get answered,
They never make much sense
But I decided that I care,
And Ill get right down to it!
