[Verse 1]
it’s been an hour or two, me and you
running circles round our pride
you said the same thing twice—
and I’m not counting, but I wish I could see an end in sight
maybe we should take some time, cuz nothing’s coming out right
and I wanna see this eye to eye
cuz how’s the fussing or the fighting
or the borderline crying
getting us closer to the finish line?
[Chorus]
girl I know you’re tired of this argument
why don’t we sleep on it
sleep on it
complicated but your body’s just the opposite
I wanna sleep on it
sleep on it
I don’t wanna fight, we ain’t getting anywhere
anywhere tonight
and you know neither one of us is innocent so
why don’t we sleep on it?
why don’t we—
can we sleep on it?
[Verse 2]
it’d be a shame to waste a perfect night like this saying things that we don’t mean
I know it’s hurting you—
shit, it hurts me too
but we’re too stubborn to admit it, so I
think maybe we should take some time
and maybe analyze our words before we speak
cuz I don’t think
all the fussing or the fighting
nor the borderline crying
is gonna give us what we really need, ohh
[Chorus]
girl I know you’re tired of this argument
why don’t we sleep on it
(sleep on it)
sleep on it
(sleep on it, babe)
complicated but your body’s just the opposite
I wanna sleep on it
(sleep on it)
sleep on it
(sleep on it)
I don’t wanna fight, we ain’t getting anywhere
anywhere tonight
and you know neither one of us is innocent so
why don’t we sleep on it?
why don’t we—
can we sleep on it?
[Bridge]
I need to sleep on it
I need to sleep on it
girl, if you’re cool with it
why don’t we sleep on it?
(x4)
[Chorus]
girl I know you’re tired of this argument
why don’t we sleep on it
(sleep on it)
sleep on it
(sleep on it, babe)
complicated but your body’s just the opposite
I wanna sleep on it
(sleep on it)
sleep on it
(sleep on it)
I don’t wanna fight, we ain’t getting anywhere
anywhere tonight
and you know neither one of us is innocent so
why don’t we sleep on it?
why don’t we—
can we sleep on it?
