[Spoken Intro: John Lennon]
"I'm Only Sleeping", take one!
[Verse 1: John Lennon & (Paul McCartney)]
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)
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping
[Verse 2: John Lennon & (Paul McCartney)]
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need (There's no need)
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all, I'm only sleeping
[Bridge: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
[Verse 3]
Lying here and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all, I'm only sleeping
[Bridge: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
[Verse 4: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
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
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping
