(Lord lord lord, I wish I could sleep)
(Lord lord lord, I wanna sleep, sleep)
Lord have mercy (I wish I could sleep)

[Verse 1]
I close up the curtain
And I pull down the blinds
Took a sleeping pill
To help sleep come to my mind
Cause it's 3 a.m. and I'm wide awake
Thinking of you again
How you said goodbye like suicide
My love life came
To an unexpected end baby

[Chorus]
It's one two three four
I'm just counting sheep
Oh lord I wish I could sleep
It's five six seven eight
And I'm still counting sheep
Oh lord I wish I could sleep

(Lord lord lord, I wanna sleep)

[Verse 2]
I felt happy Friday
When I heard you say
That you'd like to be the girl
That I marry someday
Now it's 4 a.m
And it's Tuesday night
Life is filled with gloom
I can't understand
How my lifetime plans
Could end so fast
Only just one afternoon
[Chorus]
It's one two three four
(Oh what's wrong with me?)
I'm just counting sheep
(I'm trying to close my eyes)
Oh lord I wish I could sleep
(But I just can't sleep)
It's five six seven eight
(It was Friday baby)
(And love was so sweet)
And I'm just counting sheep
(Now it's Tuesday night)
Oh lord I wish I could sleep
(Oh lord and I just can't sleep)

[Bridge]
Oh lord I wanna sleep
To escape from reality
Cause in my dreams I can make believe
That you're still hear with me
Oh baby!
The way it use to be!

[Chorus]
It's one two three four
(Oh what's wrong with me?)
I'm just counting sheep
(I'm trying to close my eyes)
Oh lord I wish I could sleep
(But I just can't sleep)
(I took a sleeping pill, yes I did)
It's five six seven eight
I’m still counting sheep
(And ooh-wee baby, I just can’t sleep)
