Lying in My Bed Songtext
Lying in my bed
It′s about 5 o'clock in the morning.
I′m lying in my bed, looking at my sleepy eyed pretty girl.
I guess she's asleep now; God, she's so beautiful.
She may not mean a thing to you because people don′t know her like I do.
But if you′ve got someone you love very much you'll know what I mean.
Wish I could get to sleep; so many thoughts about her keep coming back and I′m so very tired.
Things like how I'm going to learn to understand the way she feels inside.
I want her to love me and let me be her man.
But that sounds too possessive; it′s not meant to be, it just sounds that way.
Or to search each others bodies with the sensitive pleasure of the newness of making love.
So new in fact we didn't get that far yet.
We haven′t known each other that long so, for instance, we're still strangers and hold back at certain times when we should be close.
(Sigh) (sigh)
She told me she never had pleasure out of sex before, sort of like an ordeal a lot of the time.
So I guess she doesn't really trust men very much now.
So it looks like that part of our relationship is gonna take a while to happen the way it should.
That′s why it′s so hard for me to fall asleep with her lying here – looking so defenceless, desirable and feminine.
(Sigh) (sigh) (sigh)
Time is so short these days but there are some things that can't be rushed and I can appreciate that loving her is one of those things, if anything worthwhile is to be accomplished.
Funny how in the daytime I never get to feeling quite this way.
I mean, I probably wouldn′t be thinking these sort of thoughts.
I'm looking out the window, see the dawn coming and sleep will soon be taking me to where-ever she is now.
Sleepy (eyed) pretty girl, why are we so separate and alone?
How do you feel when the doubts′s between you and the one you love.
It's still 5 o′clock in the morning and I'm still looking at her.
I know she's asleep now.
She looks so beautiful yet so alone, so alone, alone
It′s about 5 o'clock in the morning.
