Album: Some Days Are Diamonds

Sleepin¡¯ Alone

This song was first released on the Some Days Are Diamonds Album. It is the only album it appears on.
For someone who¡¯s got everything, life can still be rough
If things are what you¡¯re lookin¡¯ for, there¡¯s never quite enough
And all the tea in China won¡¯t make a house a home
You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin¡¯ alone
There might be some one night stands to ease the pain inside
Or someone you can call around if you¡¯ve lost all your pride
Please don¡¯t be mistaken. I don¡¯t mean to put that down
I know there¡¯s times when anything is better than sleepin¡¯ alone
Sleepin¡¯ alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
Sleepin¡¯ alone can make you swear to God this night will never end
You know it¡¯s not company you are lookin¡¯ for
You know it¡¯s not just pleasure, you know it¡¯s somethin¡¯ more
You know it¡¯s not the answer if it¡¯s not like comin¡¯ home
If the one who¡¯s there doesn¡¯t really care, it¡¯s worse than sleepin¡¯ alone
Sleepin¡¯ alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
Sleepin¡¯ alone can make you swear to God this night will never end
For someone who¡¯s got everything, life can still be rough
If things are what you¡¯re lookin¡¯ for, there¡¯s never quite enough
And all the gold that glitters won¡¯t make a house a home
You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin¡¯ alone
You might be a millionaire and still be sleepin¡¯ alone
