Page Nine - Janis Ian
Written by：Janis Ian
Would you really come and live with me
We can watch TV when the nights are cold
And it's hard to sleep
When I'm hungry when I'm old
When I'm angry when I'm cold
Honey I don't know
Would you really come and take my cares away
Set me down in an easy chair and stay a while
Child that's a righteous thing you do
To make somebody just this happy
Like you done me too
I can see the years go down
You and me we'll paint the town
Lord if my mama and my papa could see me now
I'm great at building castles in the air
And living there for days you'd be amazed
I live in dreams and when I can
I go to sleep and there I am
And there you are
When I'm hungry for the taste
Of loving you and your embrace it's hard to wait
Cause I've been waiting here so long a time
But if you think it's right
And honey I don't mind
We got all the years ahead
Time for everything we said
Lord if my mama and my papa could see me now
I'd be happy living in a shack
With all the plumbing in the back
But you might not you know
So maybe we better have a home
I'd be glad on a farm with a million dogs
Or a cave with bats
But you wouldn't like that
Maybe we got have a home
Oh will you really come and live with me
I'd be so proud in loving you I'm loving me
I make it funny and I make you laugh
Cause it makes it easy getting past
Doubt the being scared
I can see the years go down
You and me we'll paint the town
And Lord if my mama and my papa could see me now
Oh Lord if my mom and my papa could see me now
