Lyrics

Better (I can?t sleep)

I?m working day and night and night and day to keep you
In my arms and make you want to stay
I want to love you til we see the end of time
And then we?ll lay down, and to sleep . . .

Til then I?m working day and night and night and day
So I can give you all the things that make you say
Man you didn?t have to give me all of that just to make me stay
Why don?t we lay down and go to sleep . . . and go to sleep

Workin? hard trying to get it down to the letter
It ain?t so easy just trying to make sure I get her
Sometimes it?s hard but every day seems to be a little better

I?m working day and night and night and day and then you say
Man you needn?t worry about those kind of things
Why don?t you just hang out and be with me
Why don?t we lay down and go to sleep

But I can?t sleep no . . . no no no
I can?t go to sleep if I got to stand up
You want me to stand up and act like a man
Ain?t gonna lay around and go to sleep . . . can?t go to sleep

Workin? hard trying to get it down to the letter
No piece of cake trying to keep it all together
Sometimes it?s hard but every day seems to be a little better

Remember the night on the beach you thought you might leave me
I thought that a wave was going to take you away
I told you to wait that you just had to believe me
It?s gonna be worth the stay . . . it?s gonna be cool one day . . . soon

Workin? hard trying to get it down to the letter
Work and kids and running playing or whatever
Sometimes it?s hard but every day seems to be a little better

Workin? hard trying to get it down to the letter
She might wanna help if I ever thought to let her
Sometimes it?s hard but every day seems to be a little better

Workin? hard trying to get it down to the letter
It?s starting to look like it just might be forever
Sometimes it?s hard but every day seems to be a little better
