How many times have you sat across from me
And how many times have you told me you were leaving (oh)
I'm not trying to listen
'Cause it's all the same
And why (why)
Why are you constantly believing that I
I could ever give you what you're needing (oh)
Baby baby please don't put your faith in me
I Don't know what to say
'Cause it's all a dream to me anyway
You can catch me while I'm sleeping darling
While I'm dreaming too
It's a lonely lonely lonely place for me baby
It must get lonely for you too
And people always falling; in and out of love
And it can be pretty painful too
And maybe oh maybe I'm just not strong enough
Sad but true
So tell me what's the use? (oh)
You can catch me while I'm sleeping darling (oh)
Maybe while I'm dreaming too
It's a lonely lonely lonely place for me baby (oh)
It must get lonely for you too
(Catch me when)
So catch me while I'm sleeping
(I'm in my dreams)
(Catch me when I fall asleep)
When I'm dreaming too
(Catch me when I fall asleep)
So catch me while I'm sleeping, oh, yeah, oh
Catch me while I'm sleepin' on
Maybe while I'm dreaming too
It's a lonely, lonely, lonely place for me baby (oh)
It must get lonely for you too
So catch me while I'm sleeping, oh
Maybe while I'm dreaming too, oh
It's a lonely, lonely, lonely place for me baby (oh)
It must get lonely for you too
