rate me

Standing on the corner<br>Suitcase in my hand<br>Jack's in his corset, jane is in her vest<br>Me, honey, I'm in a rock 'n' roll band<br>Ridin' in a stutz bearcat, jim<br>Those were different times<br>They studied rules of verse<br>And those ladies they rolled their eyes<br><br>Sweet jane<br>Sweet jane<br>Sweet jane<br><br>Jack, he is a banker<br>Jane, she is a clerk<br>Both of them save their money<br>When they come home from work<br>Sittin' by the fire<br>Radio does play, look classical music there, kids<br>The march of the wooden soldiers<br>You can hear jack say<br><br>Sweet jane<br>Sweet jane<br>Sweet jane<br><br>Some people like to go out dancing<br>And other people like us, we gotta work<br>And there's even some evil mothers<br>They'll tell you that life is just made out of dirt<br>And women never really faint<br>All the villains always blink their eyes<br>That children are the only ones who blush<br>And life is just to die<br><br>Anyone who ever had a heart<br>And wouldn't turn around and break it<br>Anyone who ever played a part<br>And wouldn't turn around and hate it<br><br>Sweet jane<br>Sweet jane<br>Sweet jane<br><br>Sweet jane, sweet jane<br>Sweet jane, oh honey, sweet jane<br>Sweet jane, oh, sweet jane<br>Sweet jane, sweet jane
