"I Can Sleep Tonight" lyrics

You were a long time coming back
From the bar where we were sat
Where do you go?
Powder your nose

I talk to friends and the stubborn few
Who drown their sorrows in the smoking room
Fuck around now
Jump about town

And I won't miss a single beat
In case you're looking for me
We all lose our grip tonight
Tonight

And it's in my head
That every seventeen seconds, when I look back
You are talking with him and I can hardly breathe right
'Cause I cannot find you

For the life of me
Please give me something
So I can sleep tonight
So I can sleep

Your feet are dry and the walls are wet
You lost yourself in your cigarette
Where did you go?
Only you know

I talk to friends and the stubborn few
Who drown their sorrows in the seedy room
Fuck around now
Jump about town

And I won't miss a single beat
In case you're looking for me
We all lose our grip tonight
Tonight

And it's in my head
That every seventeen seconds, when I look back
You are talking with him and I can hardly breathe right
'Cause I cannot find you

For the life of me
Please give me something
So I can sleep tonight
So I can sleep tonight

And give me just a minute
I'm not going home just yet
I've got a knot in my stomach
That I cannot untie

If love has got a limit
You are mine, that is just right
I will keep you in my mind
'Cause tonight I let go

And it's in my head
That every seventeen seconds, when I look back
You are talking with him and I can hardly breathe right
'Cause I cannot find you

For the life of me
Please give me something
So I can sleep tonight

So I can sleep tonight
