Sleep To Dream - Bettye Lavette

Well I tell you how I feel but you don't care

I say tell me the truth but you don't dare

You say love is a hell you cannot bear

I say give me mine back and

Take your lesson there

For all I care

I got my feet on the ground

And I don't sleep to dream

You got your head in the clouds

And you aren't all what you seem

This mind this body and this voice cannot be stifled

By your deviant ways

So don't you come here with that

And got my own hell to raise

I have never been so insulted in all my life

I have to swallow of the seas to wash down

The pride

You one like a fool just to be

At my side

Now you run like an another fool

You running to hide

And I just can't abide

I got my feet on the ground

And I don't go to sleep to dream

You got your head in the clouds

And you aren't all what you seem

This mind this voice this body cannot be stifled

By your deviant ways

So not you come here with that

And got my own hell to raise

Don't you plead your case don't even bother

To explain

Don't even show your face 'cause

It's a crying shame

Just go back to the rock from under which you came

Take your sorrow and everything you should claim

And don't forget the blame

I got my feet on the ground

And I don't go to sleep to dream

You got your head in the clouds

And you aren't all what you seem

This voice this mind this body cannot be stifled

By your deviant ways

I got my own hell to raise

Don't even try it

Don't you come here with that

I got my own hell to raise

You claim that my dreams my body my mind

This voice

I got my own hell to raise

I got my own hell to raise
