Sleepin Lyrics by Diana Ross
(from the album Last Time I Saw Him)
(ron miller/terry erlinger)
Johnnys been runnin hard all his life
cause life never treated him right
Well he aint running now
You see his eyes are closed
They cant hurt him tonight
Sleepin, hes sleepin
Just let him be for a while
Dont wake him, dont take him
To where the people dont smile
Sleepin, my man is sleepin nice now
Please let him stay here with me
I promise, Ill keep him
At home, where hes supposed to be
Hes been out there
In the streets you know
And strugglin, scufflin
Trying to survive
Out there in a richmans world
And now you say my johnny is not alive
But youre wrong, cant you see
Sleepin, hes just sleepin mister
He doesnt rest very much
He lives hard and he gives hard
And Ill just die for his touch
Sleepin, hes sleepin
Without a care to his name
Hes peaceful
Hes quiet
Hes tired of runnin his game
Hes been out there
In the streets you know
With all the pain and all the suffering
Out there
Where you fight like hell
He never learned a fix dont fix a thing
Dont touch him
Johnny put too much in his vanes
And now youre trying to tell me hes gone
I dont believe you
Im just gonna sit here
And rock him in my arms
Sleepin, hes sleepin
He doesnt rest very much
You see he lives hard and gives hard
