Sitting here just watching you sleep,
Wish I could slip inside and be,
In some technicolour 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,
(verso 2)
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,
Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health,
Look, we both know how much I've let you down,
Jaine don't take your love to town,
(refrão)
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
(verso 3)
You deserve a shooter, a saint
Someone to give it to you straight
To find the soul throught 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
(refrão)
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
(verso 4)
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
(refrão)
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Jaine don't you take your love to town,
