Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So, you know everything about your lover?
Wanna' bet?
[Verse 2]
My, oh my
How can this be?
There he goes, talking in his sleep
By and by
He will connive
Does he know, he's talking in his sleep?
[Verse 3]
The affair
Okay
He's corrupt
What do I do?
What do I say?
I feel ashamed
Embarrassed
Fatigued
Such a petty crime of sexual indiscretion
[Verse 4]
At night, when he lays down
How I wish I could not hear the sound
(But I could)
Oh, the things that he said
[Verse 5]
My, oh my (Yeah)
How can this be? (How can this be?)
There he goes, talking in his sleep
(Yeah) By and by (Ah-huh)
He will connive (There he goes again)
Does he know, he's talking in his sleep?
[Verse 6]
Adultery
That's what they call it
When you're married
Tell me something
Why is it that the men are forgiven and the women aren't?
I don't know, maybe, maybe I should forgive him
Maybe I'm over-reacting, what do you think?
Not
[Verse 7]
The promises he made said we'll be together for always
(He's such a liar)
Then he calls out her name
[Verse 8]
My, oh my (Yeah)
How can this be? (How can this be?)
There he goes, talking in his sleep
By and by (Ah-huh)
He will connive (Yeah)
Does he know, he's talking in his sleep? (Talking again)
[Verse 9]
Guilty secrets
They are haunting my life
And he doesn't even know, that I know
Can you hear him?
[Verse 10]
Yeah
The promises he made, said "We'll be together for always"
(He's such a liar)
Then he goes out to burn me (Please, help me)
[Verse 11]
My, oh my, how can this be?
There he goes, talking in his sleep (And he's talking again)
By and by (Can you keep the secret?)
He will connive
Does he know he's talking in his sleep?
[Verse 12]
My, oh my
Can you keep a secret?
Talking in his sleep
There he's talking, talking in his sleep
Talkin', baby
Oh, whoa (Will connive)
By and by
He's talking in his (Oh, no)
Talking in sleep
My, oh my (Talking in his sleep)
Talking in his sleep
Talking in his sleep (Yeah)
Talking in his sleep (I hear your talkin', hurtin' me)
Can you keep a secret?
