|
Oh, there's a rude little lady
|
Livin' next to me.
|
Oh, she sure loves someone,
|
But it ain't me.
|
Ev'ry night at twelve o'clock,
|
They start to rock with all they got.
|
They keep it up all night.
|
It just ain't right.
|
|
They O.K. by me, I'm not.
|
He and she, they all right.
|
Once they start, they never stop
|
Through this sleepless night.
|
Once I was her lover.
|
It was so good to be.
|
Now she's got somebody else and I can't sleep.
|
Ooh, nothin' hurts people more than other people do.
|
But what can you do?
|
|
Meanwhile, upstairs, they O.K.
|
Ev'rythin' is all right.
|
I wish that I could find a way
|
Through this sleepless night.
|
Ooh, this sleepless night.
|
Ooh, this sleepless night.
|
|
Ooh, that wicked lady,
|
She's got a hold on me.
|
Ooh, she doesn't want me,
|
But she won't let me be.
|
They play that music ev'ry night.
|
It rocks my bed; it shakes my light.
|
They ball with all their might.
|
It just ain't right.
|
|
Ooh, this sleepless night.
|
Ooh, this sleepless night.
