Baby get some sleep


Listen Later

Baby get some sleep

Things are crazy, some people acting lazy, and it seems that

you never get your rest

They think you’re the Energizer bunny, you can’t take much

more honey, trust me I know best

How much does it take, how can you make them see?

I know it ain’t flattery, me sayin’ your battery is on empty

I need you to get a charge, babe the task ahead is large

Our future awaits us, it’s time to act, pick up the cars set

the train on the track

Right now, you need to dream; REM’s deep, as Mr. Sandman

dusts you, baby get some sleep

And when you open those pretty eyes, don’t worry that it’s

late I know time flies

Your little head will be so busy as you’re drinking, your coffee

goes cold, you get dizzy, can’t stop thinking

Go see everything’s good mark it with an X, Double G will

always be unable to breathe until she checks

Back she goes to load up the car, try once more, hoping

nothing goes wrong before she closes the door

Yes that future has been so close she could taste, like over

ripe fruit, oft times those plans went to waste

Persevere and try to maintain composure, this is one chapter

that will be an enjoyment to give closure

But we both know there’s only one way you can keep, that

promise requires rest, baby get some sleep

And kiss me in the morning!
