Tossin' And Turnin'
Peter Criss · Other Songs - Peter Criss
Just a-thinkin' 'bout you
Baby, things weren't right
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
I kicked the blankets on the floor
Turned my pillow upside down
I never felt this way before
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
Jumped out of bed, turned on the lights
Pulled down the shade, went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade, turned down the lights
I jumped back in the bed, was the middle of the night
The clock downstairs was strikin' three
Couldn't get you off my mind
I heard the milkman on the street
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
Jumped out of bed, turned on the lights
Pulled down the shade, went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade, turned down the lights
Jumped back in the bed, was the middle of the night
The clock downstairs was strikin' three
Couldn't get you off my mind
I heard the milkman on the street
'Cause I was
Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'
Tossin' and turnin', tossin' and turnin' all night
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Turnin' and tossin' (turnin' and tossin')
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Turnin' and tossin' (tossin' and turnin')
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin'), oh
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Turnin' and tossin' (tossin' and turnin')
(Tossin' and turnin')
Tossin' and turnin' (tossin' and turnin')
Turnin' and tossin' (tossin' and turnin')
(Tossin' and turnin')
