I'M ALL THROUGH RUSHIN' HOME.... TO PREPARE HIM A MEAL EVER' NIGHT
I CAN GET WITH THE GIRLS AFTER WORK...ANYTIME THAT I LIKE
I CAN SET THE RECORDER AND TAPE ANY SOAP THAT I CHOOSE
WITHOUT HEARIN' HIM MAKE SOME REMARK
WITHOUT VERBALLY BEIN' ABUSED
I DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH HIS FRIENDS... AND THOSE SATURDAY GAMES
I CAN SIT & RELAX WITH A BOOK... AND A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE
THERE'S NO RING ON MY FINGER... AND THAT KINDA HAS A NICE TONE
BUT THE ONE THING THAT PLEASES ME MOST
THE HIGHLIGHT OF BEIN' ALONE...
CHORUS:
I CAN SLEEP... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BED
I CAN LAY ON MY BACK... AND STRETCH OUT LIKE A CAT
I CAN TOSS I CAN TURN... WITHOUT BEIN' CONCERNED
ABOUT WAKIN' UP OLD KNUCKLEHEAD
I CAN SLEEP... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BED
(solo)
HE WAS DEAD SET AGAINST... HAVIN' FLOWERS & PLANTS IN THE HOUSE
YOU CAN SEE THAT HAS CHANGED
NOW THAT OL' WHAT'S-HIS-NAME-HAS MOVED OUT
I HAVE STARTED EMBRACIN'.... THE SPIRITUAL FEELIN'S OF PEACE
I HAVE NEVER FELT BETTER IN YEARS
I'M FILLED WITH A SENSE OF RELIEF
CHORUS:
I CAN SLEEP... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BED
I CAN LAY ON MY BACK... AND STRETCH OUT LIKE A CAT
I CAN TOSS I CAN TURN... WITHOUT BEIN' CONCERNED
ABOUT WAKIN' UP OLD KNUCKLEHEAD
I CAN SLEEP... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BED
(modulate up)
I CAN SLEEP... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BED
I CAN LAY ON MY BACK... AND STRETCH OUT LIKE A CAT
I CAN TOSS I CAN TURN... WITHOUT BEIN' CONCERNED
ABOUT WAKIN' UP OLD KNUCKLEHEAD
I CAN SLEEP... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BED
