I Need Some Sleep

Shrek · Shrek 2

I need some sleep
You can’t go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there’s one I always miss
Everyone says I’m getting down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go

I need some sleep
Time to put the old horse down
I’m in too deep
And the wheels keep spinning round
Everyone says I’m getting down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You gotta just let it go
You gotta just let it go

You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
