Over And Over
Sanborn David Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gettin' tired now gotta get some sleep now
Guess I've been worried much too long
And don't wake me till it's over
When the need for you is gone
I was so happy before I loved you
I'm gonna be like I was before
And don't wake me till it's over
When I don't want you anymore

My mind is gettin' weak now gotta get some sleep now
I gotta rest my achin' head
I just want to lay here just let me stay here
Till the blues get up and leave my bed
Good night, darling
Good night, darling
Good night forevermore
And don't wake me till it's over




When I won't want you anymore
My mind is gettin' weak now...
