[Intro] Hey Ah, go Go, go, go
[Verse] I'm so sick of my, sick of myself Wish I was, wish I was somebody else Wakin' up next to you, best that I felt Nothin' else, nothin' else, nothin' else helps I'm so goddamn sick of myself Wish I could walk a mile out of my shoes Of a man, of a man, I was a shell Till there was you
[Chorus] Everything's Monday Clock just goes one way I can't look myself in the eyes Where are you sleepin' tonight?
[Verse] I'm so sick of my, sick of myself Wish I was, wish I was somebody else Wakin' up next to you, best that I felt Nothin' else, nothin' else, nothin' еlse helps I'm so goddamn sick of myself Wish I could walk a milе out of my shoes Of a man, of a man, I was a shell Till there was you

[Chorus] I'm driftin' out of touch Miss who I once was I can't look myself in the eyes I need you, I need you tonight
[Outro] Please, stay Please, stay Please, stay Please, stay Please, stay Please, stay Please, stay Please, stay
