How Do You Sleep? Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise
You better see right through that mother's eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
[Chorus]
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
[Verse 2]
You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jump when your momma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you're gone you're just another day
[Chorus]
Ah, how do you sleep?

[Verse 3]

The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something in all those years
[Chorus]
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

What did John Lennon say about "How Do You Sleep?"?
It’s not about Paul, it’s about me. I’m really attacking myself. But I regret the association, well, what’s to regret? He lived through it. The only thing that matters is how he and I feel about these things and not what the writer or commentator thinks about it. Him and me are okay.
