Don't Sleep

Don't Sleep In The Subway

- Matt Monro

You wander around

on your own little cloud

When you don't see the why

or the wherefore

You walk out on me

when we both disagree

'Cause to reason

is not what you care for

I've heard it all

a million time before

Take off your coat, my love,

and close the door

Don't sleep in the subway, darling

Don't stand in the pouring rain

Don't sleep in the subway, darling

The night is long

Forget your foolish pride

Nothing's wrong

Now you're beside me again

You try to be smart,

then you take it to heart

'Cause it hurts

when your ego is deflated

You don't realize

that it's all compromise

And the problems are so overrated

Goodbye means nothing

when it's all for show

So why pretend

you've somewhere else to go

Don't sleep in the subway, darling

Don't stand in the pouring rain

Don't sleep in the subway, darling

The night is long

Forget your foolish pride

Nothing's wrong

Now you're beside me again

Don't sleep in the subway, darling

Don't stand in the pouring rain
