Closed up the curtains, pulled down the blinds
Took a sleeping pill to help sleep come to my mind
'Cause it's three AM and I'm wide awake
Thinking of you again
How you said goodbye and like suicide
My love life came to an unexpected end
Oh, one and two, three and four
I'm just counting sheep
Oh, Lord, I wish I could sleep
Five and six and seven and eight
I'm still counting sheep
Oh, Lord, I wish that I could sleep
I felt happy Friday when I heard you say
That you'd like to be the man I marry someday
Now it's four AM and it's Tuesday night
My life is filled with gloom
I can't understand how my lifetime plans
Could end so fast, all in just one afternoon
Oh, one and two, three and four
I'm just counting sheep
Oh, Lord, I wish I could sleep
Five and six and seven and eight
I'm still counting sheep
Oh, Lord, I wish that I could sleep
I wanna sleep to escape from reality
And in my dreams, I can make believe
That you're still here with me, yeah
The way that it used to be
Oh, one and two, three and four
I'm just counting sheep
Oh, Lord, I wish I could sleep
Five and six and seven and eight
I'm still counting sheep
Oh, Lord, I wish I could sleep
Oh, Lord, I wish I could sleep
Won't somebody help me now
Somebody help me
