You know the hurt's / so deep / that I can't sleep or eat, / and what I'm hoping for / is to feel your kisses sweet. / If we could just talk / things might be a little more clear. / I really need the chance / to explain the way I feel. /

I can't sleep (can't sleep), / thinking of you constantly, / I can't sleep (can't sleep), / wishing you were here with me. / I can't sleep (can't sleep / where are you please(?)) /

When I get home from work, / sit down and watch TV, / The night falls / just like a bad dream. /

I can't sleep (can't sleep), / thinking of you constantly, / I can't sleep (can't sleep), / wishing you were here with me. / I can't sleep (can't sleep / where are you please(?)) /

I can't sleep (can't sleep), / thinking of you constantly, / I can't sleep (can't sleep), / wishing you were here with me. / I can't sleep (can't sleep / where are you please(?)) /
