Sleepless Drunken Nights

I spent time with your memory cheap beer and hand-rolled cigarettes
I needed time to find myself again my tender, loving friend
It's been a while but I can't wait to see your smiling with that pretty face again
You say you dreamt of me and spent your mornings half asleep and dead
I spent mine almost quite the same wishing I was with you instead
It's been a while but I can't wait to hold your hand and kiss you all over again

I'm thinking why oh why oh why
All of these sleepless, drunken nights
With no one but myself to fight
Always confusing wrong and right
Then I say I know I know why
Because I've got you on my mind
Because it's hard to bend my pride
And say I love you

You say it's been as hard for me as you baby, we'll have our time
I really hope so girl 'cause right now I feel I'm losing my mind
It's been a while but I sure think we'll make it work so I'll be yours and you'll be mine
I was hurt all those times before so understand my heart is shy
And then you'll understand me too when I say don't you make me cry
It's been a while since I left my heart so unguarded but God knows that I'll try

I'm thinking why oh why oh why
All of these sleepless, drunken nights
With no one but myself to fight
Always confusing wrong and right
Then I say I know I know why
Because I've got you on my mind
Because it's hard to bend my pride
And say I love you

And if you give me something that used to be someone else's
I promise I'll take care of you and comfort you with roses
The best part is we cannot tell the future
But the present's all we need
All we need to take the blues away

I'm thinking why oh why oh why
All of these sleepless, drunken nights
With no one but myself to fight
Always confusing wrong and right
Then I say I know I know why
Because I've got you on my mind
Because it's hard to bend my pride
And say I love you
I'm thinking why oh why oh why
All of the sleepless, drunken nights
Sleepless, drunken nights
Then I say I know I know why
Because I've got you on my mind
Got you on my mind

I'm thinking why oh why oh why
All of these sleepless, drunken nights
With no one but myself to fight
Always confusing wrong and right
Then I say I know I know why
Because I've got you on my mind
Because it's hard to bend my pride
And say I love you
