The song featured as the first single off the group’s second studio album James Gang Rides Again (1970). The lyrics focus on a wild girlfriend the singer cannot tame.
[Verse 1]
I sleep all day, out all night
I know where you're goin'
I don't think that's a-actin' right
You don't think it's showin'
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
A-jumpin' up, fallin' down
Don't misunderstand me
You don't think that I know your plan
What you tryin' to hand me?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Out all night, sleep all day
I know what you're doin'
If you're gonna a-act that way
I think there's trouble brewin'
