I Can't Sleep With You Lyrics

I CAN'T SLEEP WITH YOU
(Mike Kosser - Steve Pippin)
Â« Â© '73 Tree Publishing Â»
WITH MARY LOU TURNER

I can't sleep with you I can't sleep with you
I can't sleep with you on my mind
Here I lay in bed tossing and turning
The fires of love we once knew are still burning
I'm living with your mem'ry all the time
I can't sleep with you I can't sleep with you
I can't sleep with you on my mind
I've tried everything I know to help my sleeping
But sleep won't come to eyes that burn from weeping
It's funny cause I've never been the crying kind
I can't sleep with you I can't sleep with you
I can't sleep with you on my mind
I have all the empty hours I can stand
Life is nothing to a woman without a love of her sweet man
And it seems like the nights just get longer and longer all the time
Cause I can't sleep with you I can't sleep with you
I can't sleep with you on my mind

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
