In Bed by Ten Songtext
von Gilbert O’Sullivan

Love, peace, and understanding
Makes no difference in the end
What you need to survive
Mother nature will provide
As long as you′re in bed by ten

Everybody has that feeling
One that drives you 'round the bend
But I don′t know what else to say
I suspect it'll be okay
As long as you're in bed by ten

It isn′t easy if that′s what you think
Going to bed as the night begins
But then you take it, you take it from me
Things have never ever been
Quite the way you think they seem


Oh, forget about tomorrow
Yesterday still has to end
Oh, I can do all manner of things
Wear you out and wear you in
As long as you're in bed by ten
As long as you′re in bed by ten

In my neck of my woods
There's no neck at all
There might be a shoulder and as I recall
A shoulder is something we all need to lean upon

No denying
It′s the truth
I'll do anything for you
As long as you′re in bed by ten

You ought to try it once in a while
You might find that it makes you smile
The only thing is whenever you do
Don't get into counting sheep
That will only make you sleep

Oh, lead me to your chamber
If you want me as a friend
And take a tip from one who knows
Lots you can do without any clothes
As long as you're in bed by ten
As long as you′re in bed by ten


No denying
It′s the truth
I'll do anything for you
As long as you′re in bed by ten
As long as you're in bed by ten
As long as you′re in bed by ten
