Tonight woke I, a strange bed
Strange bedfellow strange
Tonight, found I, a strange bed
A strange bedfellow strange
Said it to me, oh you'll be alright
Oh said it to me, oh you'll be alright
In a strange bed, in a strange bed
The bedfellow strange
Said it to me, what they've always said
Said it to me, what I've always heard
You're gonna make it, you're gonna make it
You're gonna make it, girl
You're gonna make it, you're gonna make it
You're gonna make it, girl
Girl, you sleep with success
Girl, you sleep with success
Well tonight, slept I have in the beds of middle America
Life off the fat of the man
Oh, now I'm going to go out tonight
I'm gonna try, try to make it
Live I, as fast as I can
Live I, as fast I as can
Oh, and I said to it, success
I didn't recognize you at first
But then I said to it, success
You don't look the way I have dreamed of you
Dreamed of you
We're not strange, said success
To find me here to tonight
We're not strange, said success
So what say you to a bargain?
Twixt you and I, success in life
What say you to a bargain?
Twixt you and I, success
And success it said to me
Forget about the beds of middle America
You don't need the fat of the man
Now why don't you sleep with me tonight
That's all you've got to do to make it
And I, as fast as we can
And I, as fast we as can
Oh and then I said to it, success
I couldn't love you if I tried
Oh, and then I said to it, success
I couldn't love you if I tried
And I've tried and I've tried and I've tried
Something about success that lies
Something about success that lies
Lies next to me in a strange bed
In a strange bed, bedfellow strange
