I never knew there were such great movies On TV at three a.m. I'd have never guessed that at midnight Tuesday I could have pizza ordered in I've never been a real night owl But these days I'm all turned around There's only one thing I'm sure of right now I should be sleeping Instead of keeping these late hours I've been keeping I've been pacing and retracing Every step of every move And even though I'm feeling so right I'm so happy still I know I should be sleeping Instead of dreaming about you I never knew that I was funny Till I went and made you laugh Never liked a girl calling me honey But you did and I liked that I keep thinking about your smile And trying to read between the lines Looks like I'll be up for awhile I should be sleeping Instead of keeping these late hours I've been keeping I've been pacing and retracing Every step of every move And even though I'm feeling so right I'm so happy still I know I should be sleeping Instead of dreaming about you After just three dates And one great kiss It's way too soon to be thinking like this I should be sleeping Instead of keeping these late hours I've been keeping I've been pacing and retracing Every step of every move And even though I'm feeling so right I'm so happy still I know I should be sleeping Instead of dreaming about you
