Verse:With a foot out the door,
And one in my way,
You're leaving me home,
For another work day.
I'd follow you out,
But you keep my in so,
I'm watching you leave,
With my nose on the window.
I could just sleep all day,
Just to stay up at night,
And keep you awake.
If I could speak my mind,
I'd go out on a limb,
And say with a sigh.
'I'm the only one who sees you when you think you're by yourself.'
Chorus:
If I'm too much to carry,
Then put me down gently.
Verse:
I've been your pillow
For an after-work nap.
And how many shrinks,
Curl up in your lap?
Friends come and go but I'm still here,
Have you forgotten me?
My curiosity's killing me. (Eight left to go...)
Chorus:
If I'm too much to carry,
Then put me down gently.
If I'm too much to carry,
Then put me down gently.
Bridge:
Don't worry at all for me,
I've always landed on my feet.
So if you're gone,
At least leave the TV on,
Re-runs.
Verse:
I could just sleep all day,
Just to stay up at night,
And keep you awake.
If I could speak my mind,
I'd go out on a limb,
And say with a sigh.
'I'm the only one who sees you when you think you're by yourself.'
Chorus:
If I'm too much to carry,
Then put me down gently.
If I'm too much to carry,
Then put me down gently.
(If I could speak my mind,
(If I could speak my mind.)
