Couldn't sleep at all last night

Just a-thinkin' of you

Oh Baby, things weren't right

But I was

Hey hey hey (tossin' turnin')

Ow ow yeah (turnin' tossin')

Hey hey hey (tossin' turnin')

Hey, I was (tossin' and turnin' all night)

I kicked the blankets on the floor

Turned my pillow upside down

I never felt this before

But I was

Hey hey hey (tossin' turnin')

Ow ow yeah (turnin' tossin')

Hey hey hey (tossin' turnin')

Hey, I was (tossin' and turnin' all night)

Jumped out of bed, turned on the lights

Pulled down the shade, went to the kitchen for a bite

Rolled up the shade, turned down the lights

I jumped back in the bed, was the middle of the night

Ow ow ow, the clock downstairs was strikin' four

I Couldn't get you off my mind

I heard the milkman at my door

But I was

Hey hey hey (tossin' turnin')

Ow ow yeah (turnin' tossin')

Hey hey hey (tossin' turnin')

Hey, I was (tossin' and turnin' all night)

Jumped out of bed, turned on the lights

Pulled down the shade, to the kitchen for a bite

Rolled up the shade, turned down the lights

Jumped back in the bed, was the middle of the night

The clock downstairs was strikin' four

I Couldn't get you off my mind

I heard the milkman at my door

But I was

Hey hey hey (tossin' turnin')

Ow ow yeah (turnin' tossin')

Hey hey hey (tossin' turnin')

Hey, I was (tossin' and turnin' all night)

Ow my baby, I was (tossin' tossin' tossin' tossin' tossin')

I couldn't sleep at last night (turnin' turnin' turnin' turnin' turnin')

I was turnin' (tossin' tossin' tossin' tossin' tossin')

Couldn't get you off my mind (turnin' turnin' turnin' turnin' turnin')

I was (tossin' and turnin' all night)

Ow my baby, I was (tossin' tossin' tossin' tossin' tossin')

I was turnin' (turnin' turnin' turnin' turnin' turnin')

I was tossin' (tossin' tossin' tossin' tossin' tossin')

Hey hey turnin' (turnin' turnin' turnin' turnin' turnin')

I was (tossin' and turnin' all night)

Ow my baby, I was
