LIGHT SLEEPER

When it's four in the morning
Damn but that alarm clock's bright
When it's four in the morning
Damn but that alarm clock's bright
My baby is a light sleeper
And it makes for a long long night
I just lift my finger
My baby's sitting bolt upright
I just lift my little finger
My baby's sitting bolt upright
My baby is a light sleeper
And it makes for a long long night
I can't drink
I can't eat
I can't blink
I can't shuffle my feet
Now all we ever do anymore is fight
All we do is fuss and fight
'Cos my baby is a light sleeper
And it makes for a long long night
I go out to sleep on the sofa
He says, "Honey why you so uptight"
I go out to sleep on the sofa
He wakes me up, says, "Honey why you so uptight"
My baby is a light sleeper
And it makes for a long long long long long long night
So what do I do now
I just lie in bed still as a moonbeam
Praying for the morning light
I lie in bed as still as a moonbeam
Praying for the morning light
'Cos my baby is a light sleeper
And it makes for a long long long long long long night
A long long long night
