Lyrics

"Can't You See"
Boy I tell you...
Lately, I just cannot seem to sleep at night.
Lately, I just cannot seem to sleep at night.
Well my baby she just will not treat me right,
The other night we got in another big ole fight.
Lately, I just cannot seem to sleep at night.

C'mon baby what you trying to do.
Can't you see what you're putting me through?
Don't you know that I love you...
this situation's gotta stop, gotta get some sleep sometime.

The other night, my baby, she done locked the door.
The other night, my baby, she done locked the door.
Caught me sleepin with a bottle on the floor,
Told me not to bother coming round no more.
The other night, my baby, she done locked the door.

C'mon baby what you trying to do.
Can't you see what you're putting me through?
Don't you know that I love you...
this situation's gotta stop, the doghouse ain't big enough for two,
and you know Rover, he ain't moving out...

Well my baby, she done up n left today.
Well my Baby, she done up n left today.
Told me she had found a better place to stay.
Didn't even kiss me before she went away
Well my baby, she done up n left today.

C'mon baby what you trying to do.
Can't you see what you're putting me through?
Don't you know that I love you...
this situation's gotta stop, Come on home, come on home...

Well my baby's little sister called today.
Well my baby's little sister called today.
Told me she want to come n live n stay, I told her I thought that would be ok...
Well my Baby's little sister called today.

C'mon baby what you trying to do.
Can't you see what you're putting me through?
Don't you know that I love you...
It's all right, It's all right...Cuz, I love your sister too!
