Somebody's Sleeping In My Bed - Johnnie Taylor

Somebody is sleeping in my bed

A funny thing to say but it’s the truth, huh

Somebody, yeah, is sleeping in my bed

Oh yeah, yeah

I know I should’ve been there

But I was someplace else instead

Lord have mercy, yes I was

And then this is what makes it so bad

I had myself a real good one

To hear my every call

I acted a fool when I loved her

For leaving no reason at all

And now I can’t get over losing her

And I know it’s all my fault

She begged and she pleaded with me

To sit down and have a little talk

Even when I was gone

She sat back and she cried all alone

And that’s why somebody’s sleeping in my bed

Oh yes it is now

Oh!

don’t you know it hurts me so bad

Oh!

I can’t hardly stand it

That’s when I was thinking of coming home

She called me up

She called me — she called me — she called me on the telephone

You know what she said to me?

Baby, I’m soon to be wed

Somebody will soon be sleeping in your bed

Oh, don’t you know it hurt me so bad

This is what hurt me so bad

If I had treated my baby right

I would be sleeping in my own bed

Oh yes I would now

Oh baby, let me call you one time

Baby!

why don’t you take me back there

Baby, baby, baby
