Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float upstream (Float upstream)
[Chorus]
Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, sleeping)
[Verse 2]
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need (There's no need)
[Verse 3]
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away (Ooh, ooh)
And after all, I'm only sleeping (Ooh-ooh-ooh, sleeping)
[Bridge]
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
[Verse 4]
Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling
[Chorus]
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
And after all, I'm only sleeping (Ooh-ooh-ooh, sleeping)
[Bridge]
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
[Verse 5]
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float upstream (Float upstream)
[Chorus]
Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, sleeping)
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
