You Don't Want to Go to Sleep

It makes no sense to me,

You’re not tired at all,

You were up three times last night,

The night before the same as I recall,

When I try to close your eyes,

You just look at me and smile,

Whether it’s nap time or bedtime, you don’t wanna go to sleep,

Rather stay up and play, try to watch TV,

Whether it’s nap time or bedtime, it’s always the same,

And I can’t explain why you don’t wanna go to sleep,

Why you don’t want to go to sleep,

It’s like there’s infinite reserves,

Of energy to spare,

You wonder what happened to me,

I’m like a bouncing ball that lost its air,

You’re non-stop all the time,

But I’m so glad that you are mine,

Whether it’s nap time or bed time, you don’t wanna go to sleep,

Rather stay up and play, try to watch TV,

Whether it’s nap time or bedtime, it’s always the same,

And I can’t explain why you don’t wanna go to sleep,

Why you don’t want to go to sleep,

Since the day you were born you’ve been as wide-eyed as you can be,

Son, I’m 32, and I’m telling you,

You’re gonna want that sleep back, I know it’s true,

Whether it’s nap time or bedtime, you don’t wanna go to sleep,

Rather stay up and play, try to watch TV,

Whether it’s nap time or bedtime, it’s always the same,

And I can’t explain,

Whether it’s nap time or bedtime, you don’t wanna go to sleep,

Rather stay up and play, try to watch TV,

Whether it’s nap time or bedtime, it’s always the same,

And I can’t explain why you don’t wanna go to sleep,

Tell me why you don’t want to go to sleep.
