"Page Nine" lyrics - 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 to

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 say it's right, 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 gotta have a home

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
All the being scared

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
Oh lord, if my mama and my papa could see me now
