Sleeping With The One I Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm sleeping with the one I love
Said I'm sleeping with the one I love
Cause the one I'm with is good to me
He just ain't good enough, oh, oh, oh
I strive to do right but I'm doing so wrong
I'm living in this house
But I can't call it home
He gives me what I want
But it's not what I need
My mind is telling me
To stay but my heart wants to leave
Said I'm sleeping, sleeping
Sleeping with the one I love
Oh, because the one
I'm with is good to me
But he just ain't good enough, oh
Yes, I've tried to shake it off
And I even tried to pray
But I'm still waking up in a bed
That don't belong to me
See he offered me the earth
But instead chose space
I found about the cost
But it's a price I'm willing to pay
That's why I'm sleeping
Sleeping with the one I love
That's why I'm sleeping
I'm sleeping I'm sleeping
Sleeping with the one I love
Cause the one who's here with me
He's good to me
But he just ain't good enough
My love, my love, my love
See my baby's like a dream
But the other man, he haunts me
One is here with me
But the other's got me where he wants me
Yes I got a man, but I'm still feeling lonely
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Do, do, do
I'm sleeping, sleeping, oh
I'm sleeping with the one I love
Oh, because the one I'm with
He's good to me
But he ain't good enough, oh
I tell you that I'm sleeping with
(With the one I love)
I tell you that
I'm sleeping with the one I love
(With the one I love)
Every, every chance I get
I gotta have him, lord
(With the one I love)
I don't mean to hurt nobody's feelings
But I'm, I'm telling you he's the one
(With the one I love)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sleeping
(With the one I love)
Anybody, anybody
I'm sleeping (with the one I love)
Yes, I'm sleeping, I'm sleeping with the one
(With the one I love)
Sleeping with the one
(With the one I love)
I tell you I'm sleeping
(With the one I love)
