The Spinners - OH LORD I WISH I COULD SLEEP lyrics

i close up the curtain and i pull down the blinds took a sleeping pill to help sleep come to my mind cause it's 3 a.m. and i'm wide awake thinking of you again how you said goodbye like suicide my love life came to an unexpected end baby it's one two three four i'm just counting sheep oh lord i wish i could sleep it's five six seven eight and i'm just (still) counting sheep oh lord i wish i could sleep i felt happy friday when i heard you say that you'd like to be the girl that i marry someday now it's 4 a.m. and it's tuesday night life is filled with gloom i can't understand how my lifetime plans could end so fast only just one afternoon it's one two three four (oh what's wrong with me?) i'm just counting sheep (i'm trying to close my eyes) oh lord i wish i could sleep (but i just can't sleep) it's five six seven eight (it was friday baby) (and love was so sweet) and i'm just counting sheep (now it's tuesday night) oh lord i wish i could sleep (oh lord and i just can't sleep) oh lord i wanna sleep to escape from reality cause in my dreams i can make believe that you're still hear with me oh baby! the way it use to be!!!! aaaahhhhh!!! repeat chorus
