lyrics

Sweet Little Baby Boy (Why Won't You Sleep?)

Now we've held you since the beginning
So it don't make no sense
With all this love we're giving you
Why you're still not sleeping yet...

Sweet little baby
Sweet little boy
Sweet little baby boy
Why won't you sleep?

Perhaps we pulled you out too early
Perhaps we induced too soon
Perhaps they cut your mother open
With you still clinging to womb...

Sweet little baby
Sweet little boy
Sweet little baby boy
Why won't you sleep?

Ooohhh
Oooohhhh

You're an angel baby
For the rest of the day
But as soon you start rubbing those eyes
You're mom and me just want to run away

Sweet little baby
Sweet little boy
Sweet little baby boy
Why won't you sleep?
