Well I was flippin', I was floppin', I was reelin' and a-rockin'

I couldn't sleep at all last night

Well I was tossin', I was turnin', I was rockin' and a-boppin'

I couldn't sleep at all last night

Put on my MTV, the chirping birds and me

Oh, I couldn't sleep

Well I was flippin' I was floppin', like a fish out of the water

Rockin' around, baby yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Swoop swoop I was loopin' the loop

Cuttin' the rug but no such luck

Somebody help me please, I'm begging on my knees

Oh, I couldn't sleep

I said baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Oh, couldn't sleep at all

Said baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

I couldn't sleep at all

Somebody help me please, I'm beggin' on my knees

Oh, I couldn't sleep, yeah, yeah

I didn't want to do it, no

I didn't want to try

I didn't want to see you baby, baby

Ah my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Well I was flippin', I was floppin', I was reelin' and a-rockin'

I couldn't sleep baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

Walkin' the dog, I was simply roller coastin'

I couldn't sleep, nah, nah, nah

Somebody help me please, I'm beggin' on my knees

Yeah, I couldn't sleep

I said baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

I couldn't sleep at all

Said baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

I couldn't sleep at all

Somebody help me please, I'm beggin' on my knees

Oh, yeah

I didn't want to do it, no

I didn't want to try

I didn't want to see you baby, baby

Ah my, my, my, my, my, my, my
