TTTO: Some Nights, by FUN
For my hubby’s birthday, because he likes it when I filk.
Some nights you stay up way past your bedtime.
Some nights you sleep on the floor
Some nights you cuddle and you go to sleep so easy
Some nights we don’t sleep at all
But you still get up at 6 am
Oh lord, I did not know what I was in for
Oh no, no (what am I in for)
Oh no, no (what am I in for)
Most nights I don’t know, anymore
Oh woe oh woe oh woe no no
Oh woe oh woe oh woe no no
They call this the mommy wars? What are we fighting for?
Who wrote these stupid rules already
Don’t you start to believe the hype
It’s never even black or white
Try so hard to get it right
But it never works the same way twice
It’s all right (it’s all right)
Had the baby in my bed last night
Stopped my son from wondering where I am
where I am, where he is
oh where am I, mmm, mmm
Well some nights I wish that I had my own bed
Cause I could use some sleep for a change
But some nights I can’t to sleep without my kid
Some nights we get it right, I get it right
And we still wake up, I will see your face
And oh I know exactly what I stand for
Oh yeah, yeah (What do I stand for)
Oh yeah, yeah (What do I stand for)
This night, I do know, so come on
So this is it. I gave up my freedom for this?
Lost my shape and sagged for this?
Became my mom or dad for this?
(Yeah, come on.)
No, when I show you stars, you see, you see the stars, they’re not so far
When I sing songs, they sound like this one, so come on,
Oh come on, Oh come on, oh come on!
Well, the books, folks, every one, toss them all in the can
Decades of this, nobody will quite understand
Just do the best you can
Hold them close and let them go
Sorry if it’s not enough, they’ll figure it out themselves in a while
They said you were a mistake, that I was ruining my life
But when I looked first into your eyes
Girl, you will always be the most amazing thing that could come from
That terrible time… ah…
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
The other night I walked the floor just you and me
held you close and we both agree
It’s for the best we didn’t listen
It’s for the best we didn’t distance oh
