SLEEPWALKER

Everybody got problems, buddy, I got mine
When midnight comes around, I start to lose my mind
When the sun puts out the light
I join the creatures of the night
Oh yeah.

I'm a sleepwalker
I'm a night stalker
I'm a street walker
I'm a night hawker

Everybody got secrets that they wanna hide
When midnight comes along, I take a look inside
Don't go talkin' in your sleep
I might come in for a peep
Oh yeah.

I'm a sleepwalker
I'm a night stalker

When everybody's fast asleep, I start to creep
Through the shadows of the moonlight, I walk my beat
Better close your window tight
I might come in for a bite
Oh yeah.

When the night time comes, I start to creep
I prowl around when you're fast asleep
I walk around on my tippy toes
And I get into places that nobody knows.

I'm always around if you wanna meet
You can find me on almost every street
You'll always get me on the telephone
I'll even come to your home if you're ever alone.

I'm a sleepwalker
I'm a night stalker
I'm a street walker
I'm a night hawker.

Maybe I could be the one they adore
That could be my reputation
It's where I'm from that lets them think I'm a whore
I'm an educated virgin

Sleepwalker, don't be shy
Now don't open your eyes tonight
You'll be the one that defends my life
While I'm dead asleep dreamin'

Cupid, don't draw back your bow
Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
I'll never be your valentine
The sleepwalker in me
And God only know that I've tried

Let me in, let me drown or learn how to swim
Just don't leave me at the window
I could be the one to be your next best friend
You may need someone to hold you

Sleepwalker, take this knife
You may see someone tonight
You'd be the one that saves my life
When I'm dead asleep dreamin'

Cupid, don't draw back your bow
Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
I'll never be your valentine
The sleepwalker in me
And God only know that I've tried

I'm in your movie and everyone looks sad
But I can hear you, your voice, the laughtrack
But you never saw my best scene
The one where I sleep
Sleepwalk into your dreams

Now, sleepwalker, what's my line
It's only a matter of time
Until I learn to open up my eyes
When I'm dead asleep dreamin'

Cupid, don't draw back your bow
Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
I'll never be your valentine
The sleepwalker in me

Now, the sleepwalker in me
Now, the sleepwalker in me
And God only know that I've tried
