How Do You Sleep? Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
It's been about a year now (Now)
Ain't seen or heard from you (Yeah)
I've been missing you crazy (Oh)
How do you, how do you sleep?
I found the letter you wrote me (Yeah)
It still smells just like you (Oh)
Damn, those sweet memories (Yeah)
How do you, how do you sleep? (How do you sleep?)

[Verse 1]
Tried my best at movin' on
Have yet to find a girl like you (Uh-huh)
See, things now I didn't before
Now wishing I had more time with you (Uh-huh)
How do you stay awake knowing all I do is think of you? (Uh-huh)
All the things we thought about
Then that will never happen again
If I could just see you

[Pre-Chorus]
If I had my way, I'd come and getcha, girl
In your favorite car with the missing top
Remember 'round my way where we used to park
And did all those things to steal your heart
[Chorus]
It's been about a year now (Now)
Ain't seen or heard from you (Yeah)
I've been missing you crazy (Oh)
How do you, how do you sleep?
I found the letter you wrote me (Yeah)
It still smells just like you (Oh)
Damn, those sweet memories (Yeah)
How do you, how do you sleep?
It's been about a year now
Ain't seen or heard from you (Yeah)
I've been missing you crazy (Oh)
How do you, how do you sleep?
I found the letter you wrote me (Yeah)
It still smells just like you (Oh)
Damn, those sweet memories (Yeah)
How do you, how do you sleep? (How do you sleep?)

[Verse 2]
Baby, all that I hear from my friends again, again
And again (Come and ask 'bout you)
They say, "We saw your girl at the game, and damn, we gotta say a big mistake by you"
Not only does your body bang, but I miss the conversation too
Tell me that you're gettin' no sleep
Can't think, can't eat, 'til I come see you
[Pre-Chorus]
If I had my way, I'd come and getcha, girl
In your favorite car with the missing top
Remember 'round my way where we used to park
And did all those things to steal your heart

[Chorus]
It's been about a year now
Ain't seen or heard from you (Yeah)
I've been missing you crazy (Oh)
How do you, how do you sleep?
I found the letter you wrote me (Yeah)
It still smells just like you (Oh)
Damn, those sweet memories (Yeah)
How do you, how do you sleep? (How do you sleep?)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
It's been about a year now (Now)
Ain't seen or heard from you (Yeah)
I've been missing you crazy (Oh)
How do you, how do you sleep?
I found the letter you wrote me (Yeah)
It still smells just like you (Oh)
Damn, those sweet memories (Hey)
How do you, how do you sleep?
It's been about a year now
Ain't seen or heard from you (Oh)
I been missing you crazy (Crazy)
How do you, how do you sleep? (Ooh)
I found the letter you wrote me (Yeah)
It still smells just like you (Ooh)
Damn those sweet memories (Memories)
How do you, how do you sleep? (Oh-oh-oh, how do you sleep?)
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
