Oh sleep, you're such a big cheat
I have things to do, deadlines to meet
But from me you steal so much time
Why, sleep, do you commit this crime?
So you mean to say that I rob you
If you had time though, what'd you do?
It is me whom you conveniently blame
Okay then, two can play in this game.
I would study, maybe relax a bit
But that doesn't matter, does it
For what I do is none of your business
Come on time, it wouldn't be such a mess
Oh I do come knocking every night
But your face shines from your screen's light
And you are the one to shoo me away
And now you think you don't have a say
How dare you talk like that to me
I'm the boss here, can't you see?
Why can't you come when I tell you to
Is that so tough a task to do?
If only you listen to me once
Your whole body, sleep's what it wants
For once, just listen and let me decide
You'll feel so fresh, you'll be surprised!
