I just found out today that little game you play
I'm just sleeping all my life away
You've been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

But from now on (from now on), all night long (all night long)
You ain't gonna have the chance to treat your daddy wrong
You been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

There's a honky-tonk down the road
Just about a mile or so
And I understand that's where you spend your time
But I've got news for you, your little game is through
From now on, you're gonna toe the line

Oh, from now on (from now on), all night long (all night long)
You ain't gonna have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
You been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

You thought you being wise
Hanging around with other guys
While leaving me to spend my time alone
Yeah, you'll find out today, that it don't work that way
Girl, you've started a little game that two can play

From now on (from now on), all night long (all night long)
You ain't gonna have a chance to treat your daddy wrong
You been stepping, so they say
Between midnight and day
And I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

Yes, I'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
