I'm Gonna Sleep with One Eye Open
Love's Betrayal Unveiled: I'm Gonna Sleep with One Eye Open
Lyrics
I just found out today the little game you play
I recently discovered the deceptive actions or manipulative behavior you engage in.
I've been sleeping all my life away
I've been unaware or ignorant for a long time, spending my life sleeping metaphorically.
You've been stepping so they say between midnight and day
Rumors suggest that you've been involved in deceitful activities between midnight and day.
So I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
As a response to your actions, I've decided to be vigilant and cautious, keeping a close watch from now on.
From now on (from now on) all night long (all night long)
Reiteration of the decision to be vigilant throughout the night.
You won't have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
You won't get the opportunity to mistreat or betray me in the future.
You've been stepping so they say between midnight and day
Reinforcement of rumors about your questionable activities during specific hours.
So I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
Reiteration of the decision to keep a vigilant eye open due to mistrust.
There's honky tonk down the road just a mile or so
There's a honky-tonk establishment nearby where you allegedly spend your time.
I understand that's where you spend your time
I've learned that this is where you frequently go.
well I got news for you your little game is through
I have news for you; your deceptive actions or game are over.
From now on baby you're gonna toe the line
From now on, you'll have to adhere to certain rules or expectations.
From now on (from now on) all night long (all night long)
Reiteration of the decision to stay vigilant throughout the night.
You won't have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
You won't get the chance to betray or mistreat me in the future.
You've been stepping so they say between midnight and day
Reinforcement of rumors about your questionable activities during specific hours.
So I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
Reiteration of the decision to keep a vigilant eye open due to mistrust.
You thought you were being wise running around with other guys
You believed you were clever in engaging with other men and leaving me alone.
And leaving me to spend my time alone
Leaving me to spend time alone while you were involved with others.
But you'll find out today it don't work out that way
Today, you'll realize that your strategy doesn't yield the expected results.
You started a little game that two can play
You initiated a game that I'm also willing to play from now on.
From now on (from now on) all night long (all night long)
Reiteration of the decision to stay vigilant throughout the night.
You won't have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
You won't get the chance to betray or mistreat me in the future.
You've been stepping so they say between midnight and day
Reinforcement of rumors about your questionable activities during specific hours.
So I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
Reiteration of the decision to keep a vigilant eye open due to mistrust.
