Sleepin — текст песни (Diana Ross)

(ron miller/terry erlinger)



Johnnys been runnin hard all his life

cause life never treated him right

Well he aint running now

You see his eyes are closed

They cant hurt him tonight



Sleepin, hes sleepin

Just let him be for a while

Dont wake him, dont take him

To where the people dont smile



Sleepin, my man is sleepin nice now

Please let him stay here with me

I promise, Ill keep him

At home, where hes supposed to be



Hes been out there

In the streets you know

And strugglin, scufflin

Trying to survive

Out there in a richmans world

And now you say my johnny is not alive

But youre wrong, cant you see



Sleepin, hes just sleepin mister

He doesnt rest very much

He lives hard and he gives hard

And Ill just die for his touch



Sleepin, hes sleepin

Without a care to his name

Hes peaceful

Hes quiet

Hes tired of runnin his game



Hes been out there

In the streets you know

With all the pain and all the suffering

Out there

Where you fight like hell

He never learned a fix dont fix a thing

Dont touch him



Johnny put too much in his vanes

And now youre trying to tell me hes gone

I dont believe you

Im just gonna sit here

And rock him in my arms



Sleepin, hes sleepin

He doesnt rest very much

You see he lives hard and gives hard
