Shining down through the trees
But don't leave the room now, leave it in doubt
Pretend not to know what I'm talking about
I try, all night long
I try, I want you to come along
I feel it when you touch me, I'm already wet
But how are you supposed to know what you get
Wake me when it's over, but don't turn on the light
Call me by name, that's alright I try, all night long,
Ooh, I try to carry on
And, how can you go through, how can you go through
So many changes
Oh, how can you go through, how can you go through
So many changes
Its a family affair; it's a family affair
Its a family affair, it's a family affair, it's a family affair
Try for sleep, why don't you try for sleep
Why don't you try for sleep
I'm pushin the river, ready to roll
Oh, I can feel it in my soul
Give me the high light and leave out the rest
You know what they told me
They said the west is best
I try, all night long, I try to get along with
Will try for sleep, ooh try for sleep
Wont you, oh wont you come along, come along
Try for sleep, try for sleep
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, yaaa
I want you to try for sleep
I know you will try, ooh baby
Ooh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(fade to end)
Its four oclock in the morning, and there's a new full moon Shining down through the trees But don't leave the room now, leave it in doubt Pretend not to know what I'm talking about I try, all night long I try, I want you to come along I feel it when you touch me, I'm already wet But how are you supposed to know what you get Wake me when it's over, but don't turn on the light Call me by name, that's alright I try, all night long, Ooh, I try to carry on And, how can you go through, how can you go through So many changes Oh, how can you go through, how can you go through So many changes Its a family affair; it's a family affair Its a family affair, it's a family affair, it's a family affair Try for sleep, why don't you try for sleep Why don't you try for sleep I'm pushin the river, ready to roll Oh, I can feel it in my soul Give me the high light and leave out the rest You know what they told me They said the west is best I try, all night long, I try to get along with Will try for sleep, ooh try for sleep Wont you, oh wont you come along, come along Try for sleep, try for sleep Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, yaaa I want you to try for sleep I know you will try, ooh baby Ooh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (fade to end) Explain Request ×
