[Lyric] Lay Low (Janis Ian)

[Verse 1]
When you go away, it tries my patience
I ain't got a whole lot of time
I always seem to end up standing at the station
Crying to the end of the line
I know you don't own nothing of me, or want to
But ain't I got a right to say—
Baby don't go
Or the wind and the world slip away
And I end up

[Chorus]
Standing in circles again
And spinning my whole world around
Well I can't find a friend on whom I can
Depend or defend, and I'm down
I've been spending all the time in limbo
You know, but you go on
So lay low
No show until it's gone
[Verse 2]
Empty bed mornings sure get lonely
Ain't got a whole lot of speed
I always seem to wake up feeling homely
Begging like a dog on a very short lead
I know it don't mean that you don't want to love me
But ain't I got a right to shout
Baby don't go
Or the wind turns the world upside down
And I end up

[Chorus]
Standing in circles again
And spinning my whole world around
Well I can't find a friend on whom I can
Depend or defend, and I'm down
I've been spending all my time in limbo
You know, but you go on
So lay low
No show until it's gone

[Outro]
Spending all my time in limbo
You know, but you go on
Baby lay low
No show until it's gone
Until it's gone
Until it's...
