Janie, Don't You Take Your Love To Town Lyrics

Sitting here just watching you sleepWish I could slip inside and beIn some Technicolor dreamBut the air's too thick for one of us to breatheI'm not fool enough to thinkYou couldn't live life without me
I didn't come this far to throw the towel inI didn't fight this hard to walk awayIf I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorryIt's just because the words got in the way
I remember how it used to beI was you and you were meWe were more than just the sameNow these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tightWhen you want a kiss, I take a biteLet your heart call up the cops, read me my rights
Last night I drank enough to drownRaise a toast to your good looks and to my healthLook, we both know how much I've let you downJanie don't you take your love to town
Chorus:Janie don't you take your love to townJanie don't you take your love to townIf I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk awayJanie don't you take your love to town
You deserve a shooter, a saintSomeone to give it to you straightTo find the soul through flesh and boneMy life's a treasure, full of sunny weatherBut it's left me feeling coldNow all you want to do is take me home
I hated you, the night you said you loved meI hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myselfI'm begging you now, baby please just hold meI got one foot in, one foot off the ground
Chorus
Sitting here while you're fast asleepIn the bathroom by the sinkTrying to write the right words downI turn out the lights, close my eyesThere ain't no prayers or kiss goodnightWhat I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say nowJanie don't you take your love to town
Chorus
