Baby, baby, can't you see what you're doing to me? I couldn't sleep a wink last night just a-thinking of you Baby things weren't right I kept on tossin' and turnin' Turnin' and tossin' tossin' and turnin' all night I threw the blankets on the floor, turned my pillow upside down Then I thought of you some more And I kept on tossin' and turnin' turnin' and tossin' Tossin' and turnin' all night Jumped out of bed, turned on the light Pulled down the shade went to the kitchen for a bite Pulled up the shade, turned off the light I jumped back into bed it was the middle of the night The clock downstairs was striking four, couldn't get you off my mind Heard the milkman at the door but I was tossin' and turnin'
