Janie, Don't Take Your Love to Town

Sitting here just watching you sleep Wish I could slip inside and be In some Technicolor dream But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe I'm not fool enough to think You couldn't live life without me I didn't come this far to throw the towel in I didn't fight this hard to walk away If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry It's just because the words got in the way I remember how it used to be I was you and you were me We were more than just the same Now these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tight When you want a kiss, I take a bite Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights Last night I drank enough to drown Raised a toast to your good looks and to my health Look, we both know how much I've let you down Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, don't you take your love to town If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away Janie, don't you take your love to town You deserve a shooter, a saint Someone to give it to you straight To find the soul through flesh and bone My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather But it's left me feeling cold Now all you want to do is take me home I hated you, the night you said you loved me I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself I'm begging you now, baby please just hold me I got one foot in, one foot off the ground Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, don't you take your love to town If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, don't you take your love Sitting here while you're fast asleep In the bathroom by the sink Trying to write the right words down I turn out the lights, close my eyes There ain't no prayers or kiss goodnight What I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say now Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, don't you take your love to town If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, don't you take your love to town If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, don't you take your love to town If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, don't you take your love
