Sleeping Late Lyrics by Dr. Hook

Pleasure & Pain: The History of Dr. Hook

0

[Chorus]
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)

[Verse 1]
Whenever I sleep late you know I can dream
Some of the strangest things that you've ever seen
I could never tell you the things that I do
In my head, leaving nothing unsaid
Sleeping late in my bed

[Chorus]
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'm embarrassed by devious thoughts
When I'm undercover let me never get caught
Crazy notions begin with that old devil grin
On my face, we're such a disgrace
Me and my pillow-case

[Chorus]
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)
Sleeping late

[Bridge]
The blissful state of sleeping late, has been known to compensate
And sometimes even stimulate, I for one appreciate
Sleeping late, ain't it great, sleeping late

[Chorus]
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do)

[Verse 3]
Live and in colour, my wildest of dreams
The best ones are re-runs if you know what I mean
I don't believe I can wait for that clock to stop ringin'
In my ear, it's so lovely here
I may sleep for a year

[Chorus]
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)
Sleeping late (do-do-do-do-do-do)
