Sleepless

Jacksoul Sleepless Lyrics
1.Sleepless Intro


2.I Know What You Want

i know what you want

I played around and i played the field.
I was one mad dog, girl. you know, for real.
And i didn't give a damn just who i hurt.
Spent all my time, just chasing skirt.
Now i've met a girl like you.
Tell me, what's this man supposed to do?
It feels like love, i must confess
'cause it rips my heart right from my chest
Every time she says...

'i know what you wanna
You just wanna run your game.'

All the girls dem dub me shady.
I just want you to be my baby.

'i know what you wanna
You just wanna tell your crew.'

Now at last it's love i find
But she can't leave my past behind.

I can tell right from the look in your eyes
You been hearing some stories and their not all lies.
But whether they're lies or whether they're true
I'd never run no game on you. no.


Words are cheap and words are hollow.
And once you cheat, nobody's gonna swallow
That you turned your life around.
And in the end, she's gonna listen to her friends.

Just to hunt you down has taken a week.
But you won't take my calls, you won't even speak to me.
All that scheming is in the past.
Please believe that's all i ask.


3.Can't Stop

I know you're somewhere inside of the city
Drunk and holding someone else...
Feels like my senses are set to explode

Feels like we're soldiers
Constantly marching forward
Forcing onward...
Feels like sometimes i just don't wanna go

Baby let me know
Have you ever loved something so bad?

Like i can't stop loving you babe
It's so pitch black in this place
And i start scaring myself...
I start to question my own mental health
Can anybody feel me at all?

I can't stop loving you, baby
In this world so tired and jaded.
Can anybody feel me at all?
I can't stop loving you, baby
In this world so tired and jaded.
Can anybody feel me at all?

Feels like were soldiers
Constantly marching forward
Forcing onward...
Feels like sometimes i just don't wanna go

Baby let me know
Have you ever loved something so bad?

Like i can't stop loving you girl
It's so pitch black in this world
And i start scaring myself...
I start to question my own mental health
Can anybody feel me at all?

I can't stop loving you, baby
In this world so tired and jaded.
Can anybody feel me at all?


4.Let Me Call You Baby

Let me call you baby
Let me call you sweety pie
Say you wanna be my lady
'cause you're more than a friend o'mine.
Say you'll be my sugar dumplin'
My hugga-nugga love divine.
Tell me that you wanna be my baby till the end of time.

It's five o'clock in the morning
And we're up lounging with the moon.
Day is fast approaching
And i'll be leaving soon.
It's not long till it's on again
And you're calling, calling, calling to me.
And i know i won't be leaving
'cause i can't let you be.


Can i tell 'em that i'm down with you?
Can i tell the world you love me to?
I just wanna know how it is.
Ain't nobody gonna mess with this.
I don't wanna play around no more.
Here's my heart
Now tell me what it's for.

Tell me that you wanna be my baby till the end of time.
Tell my that you wanna be my baby till the end of time.

I just wanna call you baby.
I just wanna be your man.
I just wanna call you baby.
I just wanna be your man.


5.I Miss You

Looks like it had (baby)
My day in the sun (baby)
There's no more sunshine
And i miss you babe.

The world starts to move around me
And i should get up soon baby
But there nothing in me
And i miss you babe.
I miss you babe.

There was a time
When nothing much mattered to me
Now everything hurts
And i miss you babe.
I miss you babe.

When you were here
When you were here
This whole world was in my hands
And i miss you babe.
I miss you babe.
I miss you babe.

I should get up soon.
And start a whole new life without you, baby.
But it's not really living.
And i miss you babe.
I miss you baby.


6.Somedays

i'm outta love.
I'm outta tears.
Small wonder after three long years.
Stopped waiting by the phone for you to call.
And somedays i don't even think of you at all.

I do my work.
Come home to bed.
Just tryin' to put my life together again.
Been hangin' with my friends.
We drink until we fall.
And somedays i don't even think of you at all.

Somedays
I don't even feel the pain baby, baby
Somedays
I don't even call your name baby, baby, baby
Hear the things you used to say
See your smile, your clothes, your face.

I'm on my own.
I'm on my way.
It gets a little easier everyday.
Stopped dreaming of your face.
Now i don't dream at all.
And somedays i don't even think of you at all.


I do my work
Come home to bed
Just tryin' to put my life together again.
Stopped waiting by the phone for you to call
And somedays i don't even
Somedays i don't even
Somedays i don't even...


7.Never Say Goodbye

You
You're lying next to me in bed.
A thousand thoughts go rushing through my head.
I turn and kiss your sleeping face instead.

You
You wrestle with the sheets and cling to me.
Just to watch you sleeping perfectly,
There's nowhere else on earth i'd rather be.

Now i never intend to harm you
But there's a chance you know i will.
And if i do, i'm sorry baby.
I'll try harder still.

If ever we say goodbye
I want you to hold inside
The knowledge that you'll always have
My true undying love.
If the angels above provide
On a chariot i will ride
Back into your arms so that
We never have to say goodbye.
Goodbye.

Time
You and i both have our histories.
Now things that came before us cease to be.
And all the ghosts inside you
You can set them free.

Now i never intend to wrong you.
That was never in my plan.
But if i do, i'm sorry baby.
I just want to be your man.

If the last day comes tomorrow
And the stars fall from the sky,
Only then can i release you
'cause i know that all angels have to fly.


8.She's Gone

Everybody's high on consolation.
Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me.
I need a drink and a quick decision.
Now it's all up to me
Just what will be.

She's gone
Oh i, oh i
I gotta learn how to face it.
She's gone.
Oh i, oh i
I'd pay the devil to replace her.
She's gone
Oh i
What went wrong.

Got up in the mornin'
Look in the mirror.
I'm warn as a toothbrush hanging in the stand.
My face ain't lookin' any younger.
Now all i can see is love takin' her toll on me.


Think i'll spend eternity in the city.
The carbon monoxide chokes my thoughts away.
And the girls help dissolve the memories.
But they can never be what she was to me.


9.Never Give Your Love Away

By neale and mccollum

How can i tell you all the reasons why
You're the meaning in my life?
Your love is a precious gift.
The way you take the time to show me
Such sweet affection
Makes me want to be the man
Who gives you everything
Guaranteed.

You're the treasure i adore.
I couldn't ask for more.
Never gonna give your love away.
You sparkle and you shine.
You fill my head like wine.
Never give your love away.

How to describe the fire in your eyes
And the mystery inside?
You're here beside me in all my dreams.
And we will fly.
It's summer in the sky
And the sun, of course, is you.
I only pray you'll never leave.

You're the treasure i adore.
I couldn't ask for more.
Never gonna give your love away.
How you sparkle and you shine.
You fill my head like wine.
Never give your love away.
I'm the moon and you're the sun.
Tell me i'm the only one.
Never gonna give you're love away.
You're a diamond in the light.
If you go i can't be right.
Never give you're love away.


10.Baby I Adore You

Words:h.neale
Music:h.neale

I have searched my whole life long
For loving in this babylon.
Without you my baby.
Without you my baby.
Just when i had found despair.
You came and answered all my prayers.
I found you my baby.
I found you my baby.

Baby i adore
And i'd do anything for you
I love to watch you when you sleep
I worship every word you speak.
Girl you are my temple
And although these rhymes sound simple
I hope you know that as i sing them
I mean every single word.

I've been loving you so long
There's no way i could get along
Without you
Without you.
I've been round and round this dream
Drowning in a lonely stream
Without you
Without you.

Baby i adore you
And i'll do anything for you.
Shake the leaves down from the trees
I'd even tame the summer breeze.
Girl you are my temple
And i know my lines sound simple.
I hope you know that as i sing them
I mean every single word.

So bring on hale and winter snow
'cause summer ain't much warmer when you're lonely.
The sun may shine, but cold winds blow
And chill me to my soul when you don't hold me.

Baby i adore you
And i'll do anything for you.
Run a ten mile marathon.
If you've got demons, bring em' on.
Girl you are my temple
And i know my lines sound simple.
I hope you know that as i sing them
I mean every single word.

Pay no mind what this world's coming to
'cause it's all about you
'cause it's all about you.
Pay no mind what this world's coming to
'cause it's all about you
'cause it's all about you.


11.I Remember

Our song used to be my lullaby
Now it's just a tune from days gone by
Now it only haunts me in my sleep
And i soak my pillow when i weep
I drop my tears
I drop my tears.

I remember when we danced
Then world fell away but my heart held to you.
I remember when we fell in love
I close my eyes. i can still believe you're here.
I remember when you left.
I cried as i prayed i would soon forget you.
I never will. i never will.

With loneliness, i wonder 'round in shame
As memories of you run down like rain.
Asleep at night i still call out your name.
As the storm clouds beat a cold refrain
Against my window pane.


I know that life is simpler now
But is it even worthwhile?
I said was it all worth it, baby?

I know that he's the safer bet
But i'm the best you had yet.
There ain't no denying
I ain't even tryin' to get over my baby
No, no, no....


12.Don't Tell Me

I never knew no kind of flame before
I never knew a love to run up so fast
Just to run me down.
I never new a girl to take my love so strong
Just to leave me lonely come summer's end.

I'd gladly let the ladies pass me by
Just to save me heartache.

Don't tell me that you love me
Don't tell me that you'll keep me in your heart
Don't tell me that i must be strong 'cause you're moving on
Just say you'll love me into the dawn.

All i ever wanted was some good times.
But now it's gone and grown so bad --
I need you so.
I tried to hide my love with pride
But girl you saw right through me.
Yes, you know the score.
You know the score.

If the time should come
You find that you are leaving.
If the time should come you find you must go...

Don't tell me that you love me
Don't tell me that you'll keep me in you're heart
Don't tell me that i must be strong
That you're moving on
Just say you'll love me into the dawn.

You don't have to school me
'cause i know the time.
You're headed back to your man.
But if i could go back with you where you are
I would stay there with you.
Then the summer ended
And the day did come when you would go
But don't you start to cry
Just hold on...

And don't tell me that you love me...

Chorus:
Don't tell me
Into the dawn
But if i, i could go back with you where you are
I would stay, i would stay there with you.


13.Sleepless

The midnight sky is starless
But an autumn moon it calls to me.
Like a tide tongues round an island,
How your naked soul it calls to me.
I come to you in silence.
I sing to you with breath alone.
We'll be each other's tyrants
Or maybe passion's slaves gone overboard.

Let me dream with you in sleepless love.
Let me dream with you in sleepless love.

The midnight air enfolds us
As silken shadows glide in sweet caress.
And nature's hand controls us.
So let us drink the wine of carelessness
If cosmic fates entomb us
Let the fires burn from well within
And from hunger's pool consume us.
Let the perfect nameless dance begin.

Let me dream with you in sleepless love.
Let me dream with you
Let me dream with you
Let me dream with you in sleepless love.

Here in the darkness
Isn't where the passion ever starts.
We float together,
The deepest hungers happening in the heart.

The midnight sky is starless
But an autumn moon it calls to me.
Like a tide tongues round an island,
How your naked soul it calls to me.
I come to you in silence.
I sing to you with breath alone.
We'll be each other's tyrants
Or maybe passion's slaves gone overboard.

Let me dream with you in sleepless love.
Let me dream with you
Let me dream with you
Let me dream with you in sleepless love.

Let me dream with you in sleepless love.

Let me dream with you in sleepless love.
