Sleeping Around

I have tried to place others on your side of the bed,
They don't belong,
They can't stay a while,
Nor handle the mile,
And still...you trek through my mind,
Four laps and then some.

Sleeping around,
It's bringing me down,
Leg by leg,
Ass by ass,
Down.

Disappointment lies on the pillow next to me,
I can't put them out,
I can't get what I want,
I am stuck,
Don't want to fuck,
So I just lay, empty.

Sleeping around,
It's bringing me down,
Ass by ass,
Kiss by kiss,
Down.

If only I had the courage to ask you back into my life,
The strength to admit my fault,
The patience for imperfection,
There would be no cold fucks or unwanted guests,
I wouldn't have to think of you while I ride them,
You'd be here, where you belong.

Sleeping around,
I'm fucking them down,
All the while...
I should be loving you
