"Sleep Tonight" lyrics

Sleep Tonight

You better get some sleep tonight
You better get some sleep tonight
Honey, just warn your friends
You better get some sleep tonight

You always watch the sun go down
The same old shadows crawl over town
Those thoughts of you it shivers me
The moon grows cold in memory

Baby
You better get some sleep tonight
All you got to do
Is close your eyes
You better get some sleep tonight

I wish you, baby
All the best
If you turn out
Like all the rest
This darkness, baby
It's chilling me
Stars store down
In sympathy

Baby, yeah
You better get some sleep tonight
All you got to do is close your eyes
Baby

You better get some sleep tonight
You better get some sleep tonight
Warn all your friends
You better keep them out of sight
You better get some sleep tonight

They robbed you of
Your dignity
They even steal
Your heart from me
It ain't revenge
You understand
But babe, I just want to know
Who dealth this hand

Baby, yeah
Oh, I'm sorry
Baby
Get it up, get it up

All you got to do is close your eyes
You better get some sleep tonight
Yeah, you better
You better get them out of sight

You better get some sleep tonight
Honey, just warn your friends
