Nervous Sleep

We're lost
A few live very low
And yet she keeps asking if I
Love her so
When all is clearly
Not the time
And these formal present issues
On my mind
Now is not the time
Now is not the time for this
Can't do this
I won't do this
Gettin' us outta here
I can't do this
On my own
We'll wait too far off
This mountainside
And if the car breaks down
I'll have you to mind
Now is not the time
Now is not the time for this
What about me?
What about you?
What about me?
She seemed weak
I'm a person too
I'm scared of never having seen another person on this road in days
And you're just makin' me more nervous
And I'm driving in a daze
I get sleepful, maybe came a blessing
Oh but she grew bored and restless
A twisted empress
Wouldn't I let me be unreasonably?
She said, what about me?
Yeah, what about you?
I'm a person too
What about me?
She and she sighs so loudly
And annoying that she is irritating me
When she does sleep, she talks and mutters
And she screams
Now is not the time or place
But you give a damn
She said, baby, do you love me?
Baby, do you need me?
Do you want me, do you?
Baby, baby, please stop whining in my ear
I have a lot on my mind
I am under pressure, give me sugar if you really love me
Baby, do you need me?
Baby, do you need me?
Do you want me?
That you really love me?
Baby, do you love me?
Baby, do you need me?
Do you wanna kiss me?
Will you kiss me, baby?
Can you show me, please
That you love me?
That you really love me?
Baby, do you love me?
Do you need me?
Baby, do you love me?
Baby, do you need me?
Do you wanna kiss me?
Will you kiss me, baby?
Can you show me, please
That you love me?
What about me?
I'm a person too
What about me?
Hey, what about me?
What about me?
I'm a person too
I'm a person too
What about me?
Hey, what about me?
I'm a person
I'm a person
I'm a person too
What about me?
