Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, the sun is still high in the afternoon sky
But the morning seems so long ago
I was happy before and I'm not anymore
Though why there's a change, I don't know
I'm so tired of this day and I don't want to play
And I don't want a story to read
But I look in your eyes and at once realize
That I know what it is (Yes, I know what it is)
Now I know what it is that I need
[Chorus]
I need a nap
I just can't take anymore
I need a nap
Can't stay awake anymore
No more running around, I just need to lie down and sleep
[Verse 2]
I don't know what to do, I just can't make it through
I want something or nothing right now
I am mad and upset, what I want I don't get
I don't know what I want anyhow
I've been doing my best, now I just want to rest
On the rug, on the floor, I don't care
Now the feeling's so strong, but this song is too long
It's the wrong kind of song and it seems to be going nowhere
Nowhere
[Chorus]
Oh, I need a nap
I just can't take anymore
I need a nap
Can't stay awake anymore
No more running around, I just need to lie down and sleep
[PostChorus]
Let me sleep
[Bridge]
There are times in your day when the going gets tough
When you just have to say you've done more than enough
I can't think of more stuff that will rhyme with enough
So enough is enough, is enough is enough
Is enough, is enough, is enough, is enough
Is enough, is enough, is—
[Refrain]
I need a nap
Why does this song go on?
I need a nap
When all my strength is gone
I need a nap
Please let me close my eyes
I need a nap
I don't wanna harmonize
With you, with me
Change key (Make him stop)
I need a nap
I just can't take anymore
I need a nap
Can't stay awake anymore (Stop!)
[Outro]
You can follow my lead as the song loses speed
Now I need an immediate nap
