I worked myself to the bone,
Tired as a man can get,
It's the only way that I know Might help me to forget,
I lay me down And I pray my soul to keep,
Now it's two am and I should be sleeping like a log,
But I can't blame the poundin' rain,
Or the neighbor's barkin' dog,
It's what you do to me this heartache never sleeps,
Yeah twentyfour hours of every day,
I can feel it down in my chest,
From the moment you walked away,
Well I ain't got no rest,
It won't let me be,
This heartache never sleeps,
(verse 2)
Well like a ghost that haunts me,
Down at the end of my bed,
Your memory it taunts me and won't stay out of my head,
Till you come back it ain't never gonna leave,
So I might as well get out of this bed and put the coffee on,
Girl you know I'm not alone At the breakin of dawn,
Cause just like me this heartache never sleeps,
Yeah twentyfour hours of every day,
I can feel it down in my chest,
From the moment you walked away,
Well I ain't got no rest,
It won't let me be,
This heartache never sleeps,
Won't let me be,
Won't let me be,
This heartache never sleeps,
