Lou Reed
Sweet Jane (With Affection)
[Verse 1]
Standin' on the corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest
Me, I'm in a Nice Girls band
Riding in a Stutz Bear Cat, I wish
Those were different times
All the poets they studied rules of verse
And ladies, they rolled their eyes
[Chorus]
Sweet Jane, Jane
Sweet Jane, Jane
Sweet Jane, Jane
[Verse 2]
Jack, he is a banker
Jane, she is a clerk
And both of them save their monies
When they come home from work
Sittin' down by the fire
The radio is playing
And the March of the Wooden Soldiers, yeah
You can hear Jackie say
Just give me loving, Sweet Jane
With affection
Sing me another love song, but this time with a little dedication
Sweet Jane
But you know that is what I like
[Verse 3]
Some people, they like to go out dancin'
Some people, they have to work
Then there are those among us
Well everyday is just dirt
And you know that women they are really faint
And that villains always they blink their eyes
And the children are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die
But anyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
They wouldn't turn around and hate it
[Chorus]
Sweet Jane, Jane
Sweet Jane, Jane
Sweet Jane, Jane
Sweet Jane, Jane
[Outro (from "Love And Affection" by Joan Armatrading)]
Just give me loving
Sing me another love song
But this time
With a little dedication
Sing it, sing it, sing it
You know that's what I like
Loving, woohoo
