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 a.m. 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 twenty four 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-eee-eeee-e   This heartache never sleeps      Well like a ghost that haunts me   Down at the end of my bed   Your memory, it taunts me   And it 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 the dawn   'Cause just like me   This heartache never sleeps      Yeah twenty four 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-eee-eeee-e   This heartache never sleeps   It won't let me be-eee-eeee-e   This heartache never sleeps   It won't let me be   It won't let me be   This heartache never sleeps
