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 we 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

Raise 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

And if I gotta 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 a soul through flesh and bone

My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather

But it's left me feeling cold

Now all you wanna 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 beggin' 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

And if I gotta 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

Tryna write the right words down

I turn out the lights, close my eyes

There ain't no prayers or kiss good night

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

And if I gotta 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

And if I gotta 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

And if I gotta 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
