Standin' on the corner with a suitcase in my hand
Jane is in her corset, and me, I'm in a rock and roll band
Now people, don't you know that those were different times?
When the poets, they all wrought their verse, and the women, they just rolled their eyes

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

Now some people like to go out dancin', and other people, they gotta work
There are even some people low, who tell you life is just dirt
Now, women never really faint, and the villains, they always blink their eyes
And children are the only ones who blush, and life is just to die

Anyone who had a heart
You know they wouldn't take it
Anyone who had a heart
You know they wouldn't break it

Sweet Jane
Oh, sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, ah
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
Sweet Jane, sweet Jane
