Lyrics
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
