Baby,Baby,You did something to me.

I couldn't sleep at all last night,Just a-thinking of you.Baby things weren't right.Well I was tossing and turnin',Turnin' and tossing,Tossing and turnin' all night.

I kicked the blankets on the floor,Turned my pillow upside down.I never never did before,Because I was tossing and turnin',Turnin and tossing,Tossing an turnin' all night.

Jumped outta bed,Turned on the light,I pulled down the shade,went to the kitchen for a bite.Rolled up the shade,Turned off the light,I jumped back into bedit was the middle of the night.

The clock downstairs was strikin' four,Couldn't get you off my mind,I heard the milkman at the door,'Cause I was tossing n turnin',Turnin' and tossing,Tossing and turnin' all night.

Jumped outta bed,Turned on the light,I pulled down the shade,went to the kitchen for a bite.Rolled up the shade,Turned off the light,I jumped back into bedit was the middle of the night.

The clock downstairs was strikin four,Couldn't get you off my mind,I heard the milkman at the door,'Cause I was tossing n turnin',Turnin' and tossing,Tossing and turnin' all night.

Baby I was tossin' and turning,Turning and tossin',Tossing n turnin' all night...

This song really reflects this year and the past few years because now days everything’s about peace, love, and drugs. In this song Bobby Lewis really gets into it about the feelings he has for this girl and the rhythm or beat of the song is upbeat and fast paced, making it a song that was very popular on the dance floor, in my opinion this is what made it the number 1 song of the year.
