Píseň: I Can't Sleep
- Interpret:
- Anita Baker
- Album:
- My Everything
When I'm all alone and I hear your voice No other man can make me feel the way you do I can't describe this feeling inside I can't sleep at night ooh Home is where you belong That's what I tell myself when you're gone Every night I say a prayer hopes you make it there Anyone alone like me, I'm certain they'd agree 'Cause I can't sleep at night Chorus: Loneliness is my biggest fear I wish the feeling would disappear I can't sleep at night Coldness is creepin' in Need to feel your warmth again I can't sleep at night no Holding you so very close That's what I need the most And it's your job to go around and Share your gifts from town to town I hope I'm not misunderstood The man that treats me so good But I can't sleep at night When I pick up this phone And I hear your voice telling me You cannot wait until you're home I can't describe this feeling inside I can't sleep at night 'cause Chorus: I need you to hold you in my arms Honey how can I be strong 'Cause I can't sleep at night I need a love I need your thrills I'm sick and tired of taking pills 'Cause I can't sleep at night Ooh holding you so very close That's what I need the most And I know it's your job to go around Share your gifts from town to town Anyone's who's alone like me I'm sure they'd agree 'Cause I can't sleep at night Sick of holding my pillow tight (lots of ad libs)
