[Verse 1]
Why's it always gotta be this way?
Seeing shadows on the things you say
We'll never make it on, saying we'll change
Same stories acted differently
I give up, and I won't lie
I sit here looking at the time
Didn't want you to leave, but you had to go
Too bad the pain doesn't follow

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah-la-ooh-la-ee-da-ooh-la-oh-la-ooh-aye
Ah-la-ooh-la-ee-da-ooh-la-oh-la-ooh-aye

[Chorus]
I can't sleep at night knowing that you and I ain't right
I can't, I can't sleep at night
It don't matter who's right, just want you by my side, oh
And I can't sleep at night knowing that you and I not right
Cause when it's all over, you're what my heart's beating for

[Verse 2]
What's the fight, if we never break through?
What's trust, if we never be true?
Wonder if you'll ever feel like I do
Do you toss and turn thinking of me too?
Cause I give up, and I won't lie
I sit here looking at the time
Didn't want you to leave, but you had to go
Too bad the pain doesn't follow
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah-la-ooh-la-ee-da-ooh-la-oh-la-ooh-aye
Ah-la-ooh-la-ee-da-ooh-la-oh-la-ooh-aye

[Chorus]
I can't sleep at night knowing that you and I ain't right
I can't, I can't sleep at night
It don't matter who's right, just want you by my side, oh
And I can't sleep at night knowing that you and I not right
Cause when it's all over, you're what my heart's beating for

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah-la-ooh-la-ee-da-ooh-la-oh-la-ooh-aye
Ah-la-ooh-la-ee-da-ooh-la-oh-la-ooh-aye

[Chorus]
I can't sleep at night knowing that you and I ain't right
I can't, I can't sleep at night
It don't matter who's right, just want you by my side, oh
And I can't sleep at night knowing that you and I not right
Cause when it's all over, you're what my heart's beating for
