Tuck me in
After spending my whole weekend
Kicking back with all my friends
Think my battery has run out
But I fight to raise my hand
And I get a little nervous
Watching day turn into night
Read another bed-time story
Before you turn out the light
1 -Tuck me in
And hold me real right
That's the only way I'll know
Everything is gonna be alright
Tuck me in
Before you tell me goodnight
That's the only way I'll know
Everything is gonna be just fine
You wonder why I get so nervous
Wonder why I get so scared
Friend of mine I used to hang with
Has an address way up there
She was minding her own busines
Tryin' to have herself a little fun
And she never knew what hit her
She never saw tomorrow come
Repeat 1
And I wake up in the middle
In the middle of the night
I just can't sleep
So I hold my pillow tight
Counting backwards from a hundred
Only get to ninety-nine
When I call out to you tuck me in
One more time
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
2 - Tuck me in
Hold me tight
Don't let go until the morning light
Repeat 2
Repeat 2
Repeat 2
Repeat 1
Repeat 2 until fade
Tuck me in
After spending my whole weekend
Kicking back with all my friends
Think my battery has run out
But I fight to raise my hand
And I get a little nervous
