'Cause it pleases you to love someone who don't love you
I'd rather sleep in the middle, middle of my bed
It's the getting, not the having that pleases you
Alone and not hurting over you
Alone and not hurting over you
Alone and not hurting over you
It's the getting, not the having that pleases you
Silently watching you sleep, I'd rather sleep in the middle
That's better than sleeping on the side crying at night
Silently watching you sleep, I'd rather sleep in the middle
And lookin' at the phone as if it owes, owes me a favor
'Cause it pleases you to love someone who don't love you
Now you think I'm jealous of her
I'd rather sleep in the middle, middle of my bed
That's better than sleeping on the side crying at night
I know you're crazy about her and you'll continue to be
Silently watching you sleep, I'd rather sleep in the middle
That's better than sleeping on the side crying at night
But she's probably jealous of me because I'm free, I am free of you
As I reverse my earlier making of a king-sized bed
I'd rather sleep in the middle
And as a queen without a king, now I realize
I'd rather sleep in the middle
I'd rather sleep in the middle
I'd rather sleep in the middle, middle of my bed
Until she falls deep in love with you
