Take me back to what I knew
before I felt so blue,
before I was a chump,
before my heart was dumped out like the trash.
I dread your absence, Jane.
You’re a specter in my brain.
It’s driving me insane.
Oh darling, won’t you have mercy on me.
Jane, Jane, Jane why do you hate me?
Explain real plain why would you hate me?
‘Cuz you break me down so many times --
choking on this bitter wine.
Jane, don’t you laugh.
Don’t laugh at me, no
The universe made a ploy
to rob me of my joy.
They say I’m just another boy,
but Jane, you were the only gal for me.
Now I’m up late in the night
and I’m scheming how to make things right.
‘Cuz I want your love Jane
and I don’t wanna wait, no
Jane, Jane, Jane why do you hate me?
Explain real plain why would you hate me?
‘Cuz you break me down so many times --
choking on this bitter wine.
Jane, don’t you laugh
Don’t laugh at me, no
