Barbara Mandrell - Sleeping Single In A Double Bed Lyrics

Sleeping single in a double bed

Thinking over things I wish I'd said

I should have held you but I let you go

Now I'm the one sleeping all alo-oh-one

Sleeping single in a double bed (ooh-oo-ooh)

Tossing, turning, trying to forget (ahh-ah)

I could be lying with you instead

I'm sleeping single in a double bed

I'd pour me a drink, but I'd only be sorry

'Cause drinking doubles alone, don't make it a par-arty

Another sleepless night and it's the same old stor-ory

When you're the only one at two in the morning

I-I'm sleeping single in a double bed (ooh-oo-ooh)

Thinking over things I wish I'd said (ahh-ah)

I should have held you but I let you go

Now I'm the one sleeping all alo-oh-one

Sleeping single in a double bed

Tossing, turning, trying to forget (you-ou)

I could by lying with you instead

I'm sleeping single in a double bed

I'm sleeping single in a double bed (ah-hah-ah)

Thinking over things I wish I'd said (ooh-ooh)

I should have held you but I let you go

Now I'm the one sleeping all alo-oh-one

Sleeping single in a double bed (ah-hah-ah)

Tossing, turning, trying to forget (you-ou)

I could be lying with you instead

I'm sleeping single in a double bed

I-Im sleeping single in a double bed

Thinking over things I wish I'd said (fade)
