Squeeze - When Love Goes to Sleep lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

When the world has gone to sleep

I'm still up among the sheep

With my feet out of the bed

I'm my one and only friend

In my room of many nights

Many boys and many lights

I've been turned on and off

So my heart's a little soft

It's led to this here tonight

Now there's just me here with I

When the place is in a mess

And you've tried to do your best

When the boys have come around

To pick up and then put down

All your tries are being judged

By the one you never loved

When the moment finally strikes

He gets dressed and says good night

And you're puzzled by the mood

Because the piece that's missing's glued

No I'm not sleeping around

My bed's turned up, turned down

But when he decides to stay

I'll sleep through all the love we make

When love goes to sleep....

When the world has gone to bed

I'm my one and only friend

Just a cup with lipstick on

Is all I'm left with now he's gone

Now I can't get off to sleep

I'm among the lonely sheets

All my plans again destroyed

This doll doesn't like to toy

Must be something that I've said

That leaves me this empty bed

No I'm not sleeping around, my bed's turned up, turned down

But when he decides to say I'll sleep through all the love we make

When love goes to sleep....
