When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream)
Please, don't wake me (ooh-ooh)
No, don't shake me (ooh)
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping (ooh-ooh)
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
'Til they find there's no need (there's no need)
Please, don't spoil my day (ooh)
I'm miles away (ooh)
And after all, I'm only sleeping (ooh-ooh)
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling
Please, don't spoil my day (ooh-ooh)
I'm miles away
And after all, I'm only sleeping (ooh-ooh)
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream)
Please, don't wake me
No, don't shake me (ooh, ooh)
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping (ooh, ooh-ooh)
