Diana Ross - Sleepin' lyrics
Your rating:
Johnny`s been runnin` hard all his life `Cause life never treated him right Well he ain`t running now You see his eyes are closed They can`t hurt him tonight Sleepin`, he`s sleepin` Just let him be for a while Don`t wake him, don`t take him To where the people don`t smile Sleepin`, my man is sleepin` nice now Please let him stay here with me I promise, I`ll keep him At home, where he`s supposed to be He`s been out there In the streets you know And strugglin`, scufflin` Trying to survive Out there in a richman`s world And now you say my Johnny is not alive But you`re wrong, can`t you see Sleepin`, he`s just sleepin` mister He doesn`t rest very much He lives hard and he gives hard And I`ll just die for his touch Sleepin`, he`s sleepin` Without a care to his name He`s peaceful He`s quiet He`s tired of runnin` his game He`s been out there In the streets you know With all the pain and all the suffering Out there Where you fight like hell He never learned a fix don`t fix a thing Don`t touch him Johnny put too much in his vanes And now you`re trying to tell me he`s gone I don`t believe you I`m just gonna sit here And rock him in my arms Sleepin`, he`s sleepin` He doesn`t rest very much You see he lives hard and gives hard
