When I wake up early in the morning Lift my head, I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream Stay in bed, float upstream (float upstream) Please, don't wake me No, don't shake me Leave me where I am I'm only sleeping Everybody seems to think I'm lazy I don't mind, I think they're crazy Running everywhere at such a speed Till they find there's no need (there's no need) Please, don't spoil my day I'm miles away And after all I'm only sleeping Keeping an eye on the world going by my window Taking my time Lying there and staring at the ceiling Waiting for that sleepy feeling Please, don't spoil my day I'm miles away And after all I'm only sleeping Keeping an eye on the world going by my window Taking my time When I wake up early in the morning Lift my head, I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream Stay in bed, float upstream (float upstream) Please, don't wake me No, don't shake me Leave me where I am I'm only sleeping

Em “I'm Only Sleeping”, George Harrison foi o primeiro a usar uma técnica de guitarra gravada de trás para frente em uma gravação pop, criando o som inusitado do lead guitar.
A canção foi originalmente excluída do álbum Revolver nos Estados Unidos e Canadá, sendo colocada no álbum Yesterday and Today, lançado dois meses antes.
No compêndio Anthology 2, de 1996, foram incluídos outtakes da faixa, entre eles uma versão instrumental que marca a primeira utilização da vibrafone pelos Beatles.
Em 2018, a revista Time Out London classificou “I'm Only Sleeping” como a 18ª melhor música dos Beatles, evidenciando seu reconhecimento crítico.
