I'm Not Sleepin' - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

Verse One

When the town fool is a liar

and he’s preaching to the choir

You’ve got a lot of explaining that you do You see, no one likes a quitter it makes us oh, so bitter

So drop your hat and sit for awhile

Bridge

Ya see, every now and again we struggle with our past

We try to stare it in the eye and pray that

it won’t last Most questions that get answered,

they never make much sense

But I decided that I care,

and I’ll get right down to it And I said

I’ve stopped sleepin',

I told myself I’d never close my eyes again

I’m not sleepin',

I’m doin’now the best that I can

Verse Two

Well, I like it when you sit,

and get straight down to it It suits you more than anyone will admit љ'ause

there’s something in the air and no one seems to care

Nobody will stand up, not even on a dare.

Bridge

It’s funny how we fool them with tears behind our smile

So tried and true, we plow right through and hope it’s worth the while

Most questions that get answered,

they never make much sense

But I decided that I care,

and I’ll get right down to it!
