With a foot out the door
And one in my way
You're leaving me home
For another work day.

I 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 when you think
You're by yourself"

If i'm too much to carry
Just put me down gently
(2x)

I've been you pillow
For 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
(eight left to go...)

If i'm too much to carry
Just put me down gently
(2x)

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

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"

If i'm too much to carry
Just put me down gently
(2x)

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 gently.
