Lyrics

Anyone whoever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who's ever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Oh, sweet, sweet Jane
Ah, waitin' down on the corner
Miss Jimmy and Miss Anne
They said, "Let's go up to Billy's house
He's got a couple of strange friends there"
So I went up to the fourth floor
And much to my surprise
Nobody looked at my body
They were all lookin' at my eyes
Oh, sweet Jane
Oh sweet Jane
Oh, sweet, sweet Jane
Well, Saturday down by the river
Everybody said that it was going to overflow
And me, I had no money for a taxi
So I figured I'd better find some place to go
So I met the strangest lady
She said that she'd make me a movie star
And she was all dressed in orange
And she had a great maroon car
But anyone whoever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone whoever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it
Sweet Jane
Oh, sweet Jane
Oh, sweet, sweet Jane
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to look upon me when you smile
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to look upon me when you smile
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Oh, sweet, sweet Jane
