Sleep with One Eye Open
Sleepless Vigil: Unveiling the Midnight Game of Deceit
Lyrics
I just found out today that little game you play
I recently discovered the deceptive actions or manipulative behavior you engage in
I'm just sleeping all my life away
I've been passively wasting my life by not addressing this issue
You've been stepping, so they say
Rumors suggest that you've been involved in deceitful activities
Between midnight and day
You've been engaging in these activities during the late hours
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
As a response to your actions, I will be vigilant and wary in the future
But from now on (from now on), all night long (all night long)
Emphasizing the commitment to vigilance throughout the night
You ain't gonna have the chance to treat your daddy wrong
You won't have the opportunity to mistreat me any longer
You been stepping, so they say
Reiteration of rumors about your unfaithfulness
Between midnight and day
Confirmation that these actions occur during the late hours
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
Reaffirming the commitment to staying vigilant in response to your actions
There's a honky-tonk down the road
Introduction of a location associated with your activities
Just about a mile or so
The honky-tonk is approximately a mile away, suggesting you spend significant time there
And I understand that's where you spend your time
Acknowledgment of your frequent presence at the honky-tonk
But I've got news for you, your little game is through
A warning that your deceptive behavior will no longer be tolerated
From now on, you're gonna toe the line
You are instructed to conform to acceptable behavior from now on
Oh, from now on (from now on), all night long (all night long)
Reiterating the commitment to vigilance throughout the night
You ain't gonna have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
You won't have the chance to mistreat me any longer
You been stepping, so they say
Reiteration of rumors about your unfaithfulness
Between midnight and day
Confirmation that these actions occur during the late hours
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
Reaffirming the commitment to staying vigilant in response to your actions
You thought you being wise
Your belief in being clever or sly is misguided
Hanging around with other guys
You've been spending time with other people, neglecting our relationship
While leaving me to spend my time alone
Leaving me alone while engaging in unfaithful behavior
Yeah, you'll find out today, that it don't work that way
Today, you will realize that your manipulative tactics are ineffective
Girl, you've started a little game that two can play
You initiated a game, and now I'm prepared to play it too
From now on (from now on), all night long (all night long)
Emphasizing the commitment to vigilance throughout the night
You ain't gonna have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
You won't have the chance to mistreat me any longer
You been stepping, so they say
Reiteration of rumors about your unfaithfulness
Between midnight and day
Confirmation that these actions occur during the late hours
And I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
Reaffirming the commitment to staying vigilant in response to your actions
Yes, I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
A final declaration that vigilance will be maintained in the future
