- I'm Gonna Sleep With One Eye Open Lyrics / with translationsI just found out today the little game you play
Well I've been sleeping all my life away
You've been stepping so they say between midnight and day
So I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
From now on all night long
You won't have a chance to treat your mama wrong
You've been stepping so they say between midnight and day
So I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
[ guitar - banjo ]
There's a honky tonk down the road just a mile or so
I understand that's where you spend your time
Baby I got news for you your little game is through
Yeah from now on baby you better tow the line
From now on all night long...
[ mandolin - dobro ]
You thought you were being smart breaking my little heart
And leaving me to spend my time alone
Well you'll find out today it just don't work out that way
You started a little game that two can play
From now on all night long...
Well I've been sleeping all my life away
You've been stepping so they say between midnight and day
So I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
From now on all night long
You won't have a chance to treat your mama wrong
You've been stepping so they say between midnight and day
So I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
[ guitar - banjo ]
There's a honky tonk down the road just a mile or so
Baby I got news for you your little game is through
Yeah from now on baby you better tow the line
From now on all night long...
[ mandolin - dobro ]
You thought you were being smart breaking my little heart
And leaving me to spend my time alone
Well you'll find out today it just don't work out that way
You started a little game that two can play
From now on all night long...
