Baby, Baby, You did something to me. I couldn't sleep at all last night, Just a-thinking of you. Baby things weren't right. Well I was tossing and turnin', Turnin' and tossing, Tossing and turnin' all night. I kicked the blankets on the floor, Turned my pillow upside down. I never never did before, Because I was tossing and turnin', Turnin and tossing, Tossing an turnin' all night. Jumped outta bed, Turned on the light, I pulled down the shade, went to the kitchen for a bite. Rolled up the shade, Turned off the light, I jumped back into bed it was the middle of the night. The clock downstairs was strikin' four, Couldn't get you off my mind, I heard the milkman at the door, 'Cause I was tossing n turnin', Turnin' and tossing, Tossing and turnin' all night. <instrumental> Jumped outta bed, Turned on the light, I pulled down the shade, went to the kitchen for a bite. Rolled up the shade, Turned off the light, I jumped back into bed it was the middle of the night. The clock downstairs was strikin four, Couldn't get you off my mind, I heard the milkman at the door, 'Cause I was tossing n turnin', Turnin' and tossing, Tossing and turnin' all night. Baby I was tossin' and turning, Turning and tossin', Tossing n turnin' all night...

A primeira gravação de “Tossin' and Turnin'” foi feita por Bobby Lewis no outono de 1960 e lançada em dezembro pelo selo Beltone, alcançando o número 1 tanto na Billboard Hot 100 quanto na R&B chart em 10 de julho de 1961.
O single permaneceu sete semanas consecutivas no topo da Billboard Hot 100, tornando‑se a música número 1 da lista naquele ano e um dos seis sucessos dos anos 60 que mantiveram a posição de número 1 por pelo menos uma semana.
Na versão original, a música abre com Lewis cantando “I couldn’t sleep at all last night”; em algumas gravações há um prelúdio que começa com “Baby…you did something to me”, que ele costumava incluir em apresentações ao vivo.
O guitarrista Wild Jimmy Spruill tocou na sessão de gravação original, contribuindo para o som marcante que fez o sucesso ser citado como “the greatest insomnia-themed party anthem” pela crítica da Stereogum.
“Tossin' and Turnin'” foi incluído na trilha sonora do filme cult de 1978, *Animal House*, solidificando seu status como um clássico das compilações de oldies e mantendo sua presença em playlists e rádios até hoje.
