Sleepless Night

John Lennon · Lennon - Signature Box [2010]

Sleepless night

The moon is bright

All I'm asking for is

Three minute love



Legs

What am I going to do with my legs

They're so hot

They won't stay on the cot

And they're screaming!



Sleepless night

The moon is bright

All I'm asking for is

Three minute love



Head

What am I going to do with my head

It's so light

It just gives me the fright

It's full of champagne and dreams



Sleepless night

All um umm

All I'm asking for is

Three minute love



This brush must sell like crazy

I mean there's a lot of lonely people out there



I wanna go to the ball

I wanna give it all

I'll take it all



Sleepless night

All I'm asking for is...

What am I asking for?

Sleepless Night

Sleepless Night stands as a poignant song in John Lennon's extensive post-Beatles catalogue, reflecting the introspective mood that often characterized his solo work. Recorded during a period of significant personal and creative flux, the track captures Lennon's signature blend of raw emotion and melodic simplicity. While not one of his most commercially ubiquitous singles, the song offers a glimpse into the artist's ability to convey vulnerability through understated arrangements. It fits comfortably within the broader scope of his discography, showcasing the intimate songwriting style that defined much of his later output. The recording remains a testament to Lennon's enduring influence on rock music, inviting listeners to explore the quieter, more contemplative moments of his artistic journey.
