Toni Braxton
Talking In His Sleep
Does he know
Does he know
The lies
The deception
He's corrupt
Does he know
How can this be

Your rings, your chain, and your watch
On the nightstand, the alarm clock
Your heat in the bedspread
Holidays coming up - it's a lot to deal with
Undo these footsteps
These t-shirts on the top shelf
Left fossils where your frame went
If i reach for you, it's reflex
Got no interest in your where-ats
Mind my beeswax
Not my business
You got so cold
That i felt solo in a crowded room
What you ain't know is:
Dudes talk more than women these days
And that big mouth run when you're not awake
I know everything
My oh my
How can this be
Does he know
He's talking in his sleep
By and by
He will connive
There he goes, talking in his sleep

I can hardly remember, no Tempurpedic
My mattress can't either
My phonebook can't either and my mother can't either
So stop calling to ask if i'm talking about ya
My last words got four letters
It ain't take care, but good try
I don't really do "good" byes
And since we're keeping it honest
I got trash collecting, inanimate objects
Symbol of wasted time and a promise
Put it all in the garbage
Want your shoes, your Hanes, and your socks?
Do not look in the same spot
All dead weight to the thrift shop
Gon' bag it up, write it off
Wanna know who someone is, all you gotta do is listen
Tuning in to your secrets is my latest obsession
Got all the answers without asking the question
Boy, your problem's a blessing, blessing
I know everything
My oh my
How can this be
Does he know
He's talking in his sleep
By and by
He will connive
Does he know
He's talking in his sleep

He's screaming now

I'm excavating memories
Purging you like empty calories
I don't wanna talk no more
Can't really stand to hear your voice
Memories
Like empty calories
I don't wanna talk
No more

Memories
I don't wanna talk
A girl's got to protect her joy
