[Verse 1]
I think about it every night and day
It's stuck in the back of my mind and it won't go away
I don't know why or where it's coming from
I try to block it away, call it a day
But it keeps coming back and sticks like a knife

[Chorus]
And when I think about it all I want to do is cry
And Lord I dont know the reason or why
This thought in my head, it never seems to fade
Did I tell you 'bout the raider of my sleep?
Did I tell you 'bout the raider of my sleep?

[Verse 2]
It's coming on, really bothers me
This thought that it won't go away
It's in my feelings, yeah
I need more time to really think it through
What should I really do? I dont have a clue
Between me and you, I'm so confused

[Chorus]
And when I think about it all I want to do is cry
And Lord I dont know the reason or why
This thought in my head, it never seems to fade
Did I tell you 'bout the raider of my sleep?
Did I tell you 'bout the raider of my sleep?
[Bridge]
And will I find the answer to this?
Will I find a way? Will it be you to hold, hold me through?
And in the midnight hour of the night will I find some peace?
Or will I still be raided, raided deep? Ooh

[Chorus]
And when I think about it all I want to do is cry
And Lord I dont know the reason or why
This thought in my head, it never seems to fade
Did I tell you 'bout the raider of my sleep?
Did I tell you 'bout the raider of my--

[Outro]
Did I tell you 'bout the raider of my sleep?
Did I tell you 'bout the raider of my sleep?
