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