VERSE 1:
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'd keep me in, so
I'm watching you leave with my nose on the window
VERSE 2:
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
PRE-CHORUS 1:
I'm the only one
Who sees you when you think you're by yourself
CHORUS 1:
If I'm too much to carry
Just put me down gently
If I'm too much to carry
Just put me down gently
VERSE 3:
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
PRE-CHORUS 2:
Have you forgotten me?
My curiosity's killing me
(Eight left to go...)
CHORUS 2:
If I'm too much to carry
Just put me down gently
If I'm too much to carry
Just 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
[ Interlude ]
VERSE 4:
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
PRE-CHORUS 3:
I'm the only one
Who sees you when you think you're by yourself
CHORUS 3:
If I'm too much to carry
Just put me down gently
If I'm too much to carry
Just put me down gently
OUTRO:
Just put me down gently
Just put me down gently
Just put me down gently
Just put me down gently
