Can't Sleep This Night

What I do?
Sleep the night, baby, yeah
Because of you
Then I wanna tell you the truth, baby
Thinking of you, baby
That's why I can't sleep this night
I can't sleep this night
That's the reason, that's the reason
I can't sleep this night, this night
Sleep this night, baby
Can't sleep this night, baby
[Incomprehensible] night and day
They don't tell me
They don't tell me, baby, yeah
They don't tell me, baby, and I want you to tell me
Well, I'm gon' tell you, baby, right
Well, I'm gon' tell you, baby, tonight
Well, I want you, I had now need you
For by my side, by my side
That's the reason I can't sleep this night
Can't sleep this night, child, sleep this night, child
And that's the reason I can't sleep this night
Can't sleep this night, sleep this night
I can't sleep this night, child
That's where I lay, where I lay
Where I lay, where I lay
