Lyrics
Please DonÂ?t Kill Me in My Sleep
James B. Twitty
You fly to a different city every week
You walk to a tune with a different kind of beat
Lately youÂ?ve been drinking more
I heard you say youÂ?re gonna settle the score
ThereÂ?s something inside you hide that must be weak
Two baby blues, couldnÂ?t refuse
Stop what youÂ?re doing, I gotta tell you one thing more
Please donÂ?t kill me in my sleep
Please donÂ?t kill me in my sleep
You drink martinis while the other girls drink wine
You wear short black dresses, you strut like your on cloud number nine
YouÂ?d be a bad mama, YouÂ?d make a poor wife
A superficial lady, you cut like a knife
Holy matimonious, would be totally erroneous
So Stop what youÂ?re doing, I gotta tell you one thing more
Please donÂ?t kill me in my sleep
Please donÂ?t kill me in my sleep
YouÂ?re a jet setter, a Â?cell-phoneÂ? woman
A man killer, in love with yourself
Name-dropper, youÂ?ll get yourÂ?s yet
IÂ?m in your pocket, along with everyone else
You better stop what youÂ?re doing, I gotta tell you one thing more
Please donÂ?t kill me in my sleep
Please donÂ?t kill me in my sleep
Gin and vermouth is your Fountain of Youth
Peppermint Schnapps, I got pulled over by the cops
Forbidden fruit, youÂ?re in your birthday suit
