"Tossin' & Turnin'" is actually a cover song originally recorded by Bobby Lewis in 1961. Joan Jett & The Blackhearts released their own version in 1984 as a part of their album "Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth." The lyrics depict a person who is experiencing sleeplessness due to their thoughts being consumed by someone they deeply care about. They confess to not being able to sleep at all because they couldn't stop thinking about the person, and this has led to a feeling of things being wrong between them. The repetitive lines of "Tossin' and turnin', turnin' and tossin'" represent the restless state of mind the protagonist is in, unable to find peace or comfort. The tossing and turning in bed is used as a metaphor for the internal turmoil and emotional unrest caused by their thoughts. The protagonist's actions throughout the song reflect their attempts to distract themselves and find solace. They kick the blankets on the floor, turn their pillow upside down, and try to eat something from the kitchen. However, none of these actions prove successful in easing their troubled mind. The clock striking three in the middle of the night further emphasizes the passage of time and the protagonist's inability to let go of their thoughts. Even the sound of the milkman on the street contributes to their obsession, highlighting their desperate state of mind. Overall, "Tossin' & Turnin'" portrays the restlessness, obsession, and sleeplessness that can be experienced when someone's thoughts are consumed by a deep longing or emotional relationship. The song captures the unease and frustration that can come from being unable to find peace of mind when one's thoughts are consumed by someone they care about deeply.
