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 me 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 think you’re by yourself
If I’m too much to carry
Just put me down gently
If I’m too much to carry
Just put me down gently
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 is killing me
If I’m too much to carry
Just put me down gently
If I’m too much to carry
Just put me down gently
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 reruns
I could just sleep all day
Just to stay up at night
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 think you’re by yourself
If I’m too much to carry
Just put me down gently
If I’m too much to carry
Just put me down gently
Just put me down gently
(If I could speak my mind.)
Just put me down gently
(If I could speak my mind.)
Just put me down gently1
