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

(CHORUS:)
Janie, don't you take your love to town Janie, (x2)
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 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 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 begging you now,
baby please just hold me I got one foot in, one foot off the ground

(CHORUS)
Janie, don't you take your love
(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)
