Mandrell, Barbara - Sleeping Single In A Double Bed Lyrics
Sleeping single in a double bed
Thinking over things I wish I'd said
I should have held you but I let you go
Now I'm the one sleeping all alone, oh
Sleeping single in a double bed
I could be lying with you, instead
I'm sleeping single in a double bed
I'd pour me a drink, but I'd only be sorry
'Cause drinking doubles alone, don't make it a party
Another sleepless night, and it's the same old story
When you're the only one, at two in the morning
Sleeping single in a double bed
Thinking over things I wish I'd said
Now I'm the one sleeping all alone, oh
Sleeping single in a double bed
Tossing, turning trying to forget
I could be lying with you, instead
I'm sleeping single in a double bed

Mandrell, Barbara Sleeping Single In A Double Bed Comments
Sleeping single in a double bed is the the song I truly miss the most.
Beautiful lady,,beautiful voice and a great song... this is when songs where songs
She wrote the song after looking in a mirror one morning and wondering why she was alone again. Even beer goggle's couldn't help her get a man
Was born in 2005 but I've heard this since I was a kid & I loved it
This wasn't really country and that's why I liked it so much!
My mother retitled this song to Sleeping Double In A Single Bed. lol
Only One Barbara!
More like double dealing in a double bed, Heard this on the radio as a kid when it came out, I always thought she’s sleeping single in a double bed either because her man left her for another woman or he caught her cheating on him and he left and the cheater left her too, or could be she just bought a double bed and eagerly wanting someone to fill the other side and make love all night. So which one is it barb? I know back then a lot of best friends was sleeping around with each other’s partners.
This woman is so beautiful and sweet and sexy. She sure has a beautiful and energetic voice. She is really great. She never lost her touch
Wish I could see the Mandrell Sister Show again. There were some great shows and singers then.
She has always been on of the most beautiful women I've ever laid eyes on.
This was hardly classic country, but it was part of that crossover movement that was going on at the time, she was/is still 110% Country though.
She just made "The Great Playlist" Holding all the great country classics in one place.. Come on by folks. Thanks Humpycub enjoy the hits on this one.. Many people play this list. We miss our country music.
The Snowman
Who loves ya Baby!

A little switch on the song i could not get out of my head
Sleeping double in a single bed
Grabbing covers while there still some left
Half asleep and I feel your toes
Baby don’t you know they are ice cold
Sleeping double in a single bed
Grabbing covers while there still some left
Thinking bout sleeping on the floored
but it is hard and made of boards
......
COUNTRY MUSIC TODAY IS AWFUL
They use this to torture terrorists in prison !
This Black Man remembers and loved Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters
So does this Black Woman. I loved the variety show she had with her sisters on Saturday nights.
@Cherie' Kimbrough same here Cherie!
I first head this song on the show," Designing Women."
Just loved this one when I was growing up.....I was FORCED to listen to country music growing up...... thank you Dad... now that I am older I have learned to appericate country music alot more.
Love Barbara
1969 through what it's. 2019
i remember this song well she sure was hot
I'm on a catchy in a rainy blame of nights of love

A true Queen of country music!
I have this album not cd the actual album/
I got a autograph
Pitcher of Barb oh how I love her singing
yes it is true
Love ya Miss Barbara !
Good song but it’s NOT country! You can put clothes on a dog and call it a human but it’s still a dog.
This is true country music. Not like the music today.
That's right
The great Barbara Mandrell, loved her and the sisters on the TV show back in the 70's.
The Mandrell Show! Me too!
well Barbara Mandrell, if you're sleeping in a double bed, I would like to first married you, then you might also want me to also share that double bed with you.
that Barbara Mandrell is the most beautiful country singing hillbilly woman artist in the world. even more beautiful and sexier than Dolly Parton.
Still play this song often after 40 years. Great talent!
I didn't care for country music until Barbara started her television show. Thank you Barbara for ALL your musuc!!!!
Still a classy lady, play her tunes often.
ah I love this gal....
good old country
love Barbara mandrell awesome song
lol i always thought she sang steven seagule
Its like a mix of country and disco.
I remember my mom singing to this with my dad in earshot,,,,now I sing it~some nights to myself! LoL~
Love Barbara!
Yeah...The only way this wonderful lady slept single in a double bed would have been by choice.
i tried to NOT LET HIM GO, he distracted me by saying he was just friends with "lucy", "pippy longstockings" & someone else. What do ya'll think of that? That was 5months ago out of 17yrs+
And im perfectly fine with it
I have 2 kittens for sale 10$ each
I have 1kid
I bet that's how Anna Faris is feeling, now that Chris Pratt is out of the picture! Sleeping single in a double bed!
remember the show
The Mandrell Sisters Every. Single. Week. Miss those days!
Lol as a 14 year old new singer in the mid 80s try explaining this song to a band.. lol... it's called what?
good song.But,too short
This is as country as Madonna is rock and roll.
https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/madonna
So. I read the whole thing, and see no argument as to why she is rock and roll, or worthy of rock and roll status. Not when there are actual rockers being left out of the RRHOF. If you want to make it the "Pop Music" hall of fame--fine.
I could not care less, just thought it humorous. Arguing over whether it's country or pop or rock just doesn't matter. I have removed "country" from the classification. Peace out.
In the late 1970's and early 1980's, this WAS country. A good portion of the hits were crossover pop hits. You still had the "outlaw movement" going during this time which was more of a country "feel", but this was very popular country crossover music. It's a shame that today, the two can't be mixed together to sound this good. It's called country, but it's just plain garbage if you ask me.
the first time I've heard Barbara mandrel i really like her song's.
a true lady with class so sexy
Most bed manufacturers in 2016 no longer make double beds. They consider them too small to accommodate two adults as they are only 54" wide which is the same size as two crib mattresses. A king size bed is the equivalent width of two twin beds. The double bed is now considered only comfortable for a single adult or an adult and a small child or pet. Do couples no longer like to spoon? Sounds like Barbara foretold the future. Would Sleeping Single in a King Size Bed have the same pop?
My daughter was 3 years old when this song was popular. She loved this song and could sing the lyrics perfectly... My wife and I thought it was hilarious, given the message and the lyrics... We discouraged her from singing it when the rest of the family was around.... The Mandrell sisters are all very talented and we enjoyed watching them on "The Barbara Mandrell Show"
This is more pop than country. It sounds more like something from the 50's or 60's it has a very retro feeling to it.
However she did a great job
hezký rytmus, ok song
FROM A S T I ( ITALY )
Barbra, if you had not been talking back to me or listening to me as Well when we we together then you might not have to be sleeping single in a double bed.now pull yourself together girl..I miss you baby☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
shut up
I love this song
Now Days a woman just jumps to the next man, especially if he has money.
Samuel Sheneman yep
Now a days Men and Women practice indiscriminate sex , and attach nothing to it but their own wants and needs without regard for consequences!
Very true
oh,,noooo,,you got it wrong...we don't jump in anyones bed,,,,just for one night pleasure,,,,,,,,,,,we want more,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Country music KICKED ARSE in the late 70s/early 80s. Now UGGGGHHHHH!!
@countrygirl countrymusiclover when you post in all caps, it doesn't make your OPINION any more correct or important. And it makes people like me not read it and skip to the comments to rag on you. Cheers.
Believe it or not, there is still some great country music out there, unfortunately it's not commercialized. Check out these artists, trust me, if you like traditional country, you'll love them:
Willow Osborne:

Besides being great, traditional country musicians, they're pretty easy on the eyes, too. ;)
Good memories
@Nick Doneilo yes nothing like the older country
I agree Patrick. Today's country doesn't touch me at all. Keyboards, claps, oohs & ahhs just don't get to me.
I mean it all has to be done right of course. But I've heard many great songs. Country lost it's way. The writers are gone folks. Many passed on. Many gave it up. That leaves new writers bound by copyrights and so on. It's really tough. I wrote and play but not sure if even I am crossing lines. We need better controllers. Now we only have those pop lovers. Eating it all up. Killing the heart of millions daily. lol
39 insomniacs did not like this song
Awesome lady ,just love listening to her sing .
Sleeping single in a double bed...nice song....
Even back then, this song was a really a pop crossover.
yea is is
sounds like the captain and tennile
yes if you overlay these two songs there you go Captain and Tennile (love will keep us together)
I coulda sworn that it was when I heard the start. I don't kno which one I like better. This one hits nice tho
Never thought of that before, but I can see that. Did you know since your post, the Captain died?
I never EVER get tired of listening to this song! It's been my favorite since I first heard it on the radio as a 9 year old kid.
For those who think this isn't country - this WAS country back then. The genre has changed probably half a dozen times since then. This, in fact, was one of the most massive country hits of the late 70s and launched Barbara into superstardom.
CyRox98 k
CyRox98 You can put clothes on a dog, but that doesn’t make it human.
This is def country! She was country when country wasn’t cool!
Love Will Keep Us Together part 2! In a few years they'll be saying that Sam Hunt WAS country back then. He isn't any more than this is. It's pop.
It's funny that sleeping single in a double bed might be thought immoral. I would think that sleeping double in a single bed would be immoral. Just kidding. I love this song and the singer.
just plain good country
I am actually surprised this wasn't a Top 10 hit on the "pop" charts. It is very catchy... "ayind nawt tew cuntry"...
A classic song from the Golden Age of country music performed by one of its biggest stars! Back in those days you wouldn't find me anywhere else but in a C&W bar or club. Anybody out there from the southern New Jersey area who remembers places like Eugene's, The Bears Den, The Lions Den, Hamilton B&G and last but not least... Cedarwood? Ah...they were the best of times.
1978-1982 was a snapshot in time for country. Every song was 2 minutes, they all had the same signature sound.
@Big DogCountry You are right all the songs have the same theme, same beat, etc.
Love this song
David
Good song; brings back memories. I was just a little girl. My older brother was living at home and in college, but he still had to sneak listening to pop or country on the radio. Our parents were super-strict, and popular music wasn't allowed. My mom used to say that this song was immoral, and I didn't even understand what she was talking about! Sometimes I think we had the strictest parents in America.
No, watch "The Virgin Suicides", now THOSE parents are strict. Seriously though, I feel bad for all kids who have ridiculously strict parents who actually think music will harm them in some way! LOL
@MsKim14 Black Guy/ son of two pastors... no videos music or movies that contained cussing nudity etc... had to sneak and listen to any non gospel music, although I got to hear stuff like this occasionally because of travel on hwy with parents to revivals etc...could rarely even attend sports functions let alone dream of playing on the team....could barely leave the yard..I know your pain
+MsKim14 i bet you're a naughty adult. daddy's little girl's been a bad little girl :)
