(Trnqvist/Svenre)

For whatever reason
I could never care to ask you
You would never come and take my time
whenever you'd desire to
Be a holy angel or a very earthly man
Let's just stay together here
and do as best we can

And just for a moment
I imagined it was mutual
How could it have been
when all I wanted was to please you
It's all contradictions
so I'll disconnect the phone
Stay under the blanket
and pretend nobody's home

So good night, sleep tight
and don't let the bedbugs bite you or eat you,
or tell you what you ought to do

Nothing here has changed
except the wallpaper with rosebuds
I'm the same as ever,
and my neighbours with the strange thuds
Something here is glowing
I'm afraid it might be me
I'm afraid there's no such
thing as it was meant to be

So good night, sleep tight
and don't let the bedbugs bite you or eat you,
or tell you what you ought to
