Sleeper
Some women are full of pep, with a knowing look in every
step
They could run a marathon, queens of fitness a real paragon
None I found fit the way I roll, trying to keep up inflicted
quite a toll
I was made for a slower speed, not trying to be a stallion I’m
an older steed
No longer aiming for the sky, content to watch the stars go
by
If you’re looking for something deeper, I’m your guy, baby I’m
a sleeper
May not run with the in-crowd, but I’ll do my level best to
make you proud
Worth a fortune but available for much cheaper, I’m your
guy, baby I’m a sleeper
So many years passed with me longing to be, that cool guy,
something better to see
Found that by creating that illusion, it just led to increasingly
more confusion
Not about strutting with something to behold, ‘bout having a
lover to share life as we get old
Share the bad times, laugh about the good ones, snuggle up under
a blanket watching reruns
No longer aiming for the sky, content to watch the stars go
by
If you’re looking for something deeper, I’m your guy, baby I’m
a sleeper
May not run with the in-crowd, but I’ll do my level best to
make you proud
Worth a fortune but available for much cheaper, I’m your
guy, baby I’m a sleeper
I’ll sleep with you till my days are done, hold you all
night, kiss you under the sun
Walk by your side through what lies in store, give you every
bit of my love and then a little more
I’ll sleep by your side anywhere we go, the feeling of spooning
with you is the greatest one I know
Waking to your smile starts the day off right, paradise on
earth enriched sleeping beside you every night
No longer aiming for the sky, content to watch the stars go
by
If you’re looking for something deeper, I’m your guy, baby I’m
a sleeper
May not run with the in-crowd, but I’ll do my level best to
make you proud
Worth a fortune but available for much cheaper, I’m your
guy, baby I’m a sleeper
Yeah mama I’m your sleeper
