I couldn't sleep at all last night

Got to thinkin' of you

Baby things weren't right

Well I was tossin' and turnin'

Turnin' and tossin'

a-tossin' and turnin' all night

I kicked the blankets on the floor

Turned my pillow upside down

I never never did before

'cause I was tossin' and turnin'

Turnin' and tossin'

a-tossin' and turnin' all night

Jumped out of bed

Turned on the light

I pulled down the shade

Went to the kitchen for a b***
Rolled up the shade

Turned off the light

I jumped back into bed

It was the middle of the night

The clock downstairs was strikin' four

Couldn't get you off my mind

I heard the milkman at the door

'cause I was tossin' and turnin'

Turnin' and tossin'

a-tossin' and turnin' all night

<instrumental interlude>

Jumped out of bed

Turned on the light
I pulled down the shade

Went to the kitchen for a b***

Rolled up the shade

Turned off the light

I jumped back into bed

It was the middle of the night

The clock downstairs was strikin' four

Couldn't get you off my mind

I heard the milkman at the door

'cause I was tossin' and turnin'

Turnin' and tossin'

a-tossin' and turnin' all, yay, yay, yay

I was a-tossin' and turnin'

FADE

Turnin' and tossin'
