Restless Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't need to belong to no one
I don't belong at all
I got my face in a corner
Got my back to the wall

[Chorus]
Yeah, pretty baby, I'm restless, restless
Restless through and through
I'm restless, restless
You look restless too

[Verse 2]
I'm a hair-trigger lover
And I can't face up to nothing
I'm impatient with the wind
But I'm waiting here for something

[Chorus]
Pretty baby, I'm restless, restless
Restless through and through
I'm restless, restless
You look restless too

[Bridge]
Restless sleep, twisted dreams
Moving targets, silent screams
Restless city, restless street
Restless you, restless me
[Verse 3]
I'm a face out the window
I'm a black satin sheet
And I can't stay warm
I stay out in the street

[Chorus]
Yeah, pretty baby, I'm restless, restless
Restless through and through
I'm restless, restless
You look restless too

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
