John Miles - Plain Jane lyrics

rate me

Even as a little girl who's playing out of school

You wanted everyone to know your name

Makin' sure you had the best

Just to stand out from the rest

And nothing any less could be the same

People all around you could always be replaced

So those you didn't need were pushed aside

You would use them for a while

'Til their face went out of style

Then say goodbye and thank-you for the ride

Plain Jane chasing rainbows building castles in the sky

Plain Jane chasing rainbows make the end before you die

Not for you a poor man's son

The dreams of fortune have begun

And once you're off the ground you have to fly

Now the girl with everything is feeling insecure

Your smile is never all that it appears

And the lady debonair

Who would never have a care

Fights harder everyday to hide the tears

Time goes by the spotlight fades you're standing in the dark

A mystic left with no more spells to weave

Like a lazy afternoon

That has passed you by too soon

And all the things you had were make-believe

Plain Jane chasing rainbows building castles in the sky

Plain Jane chasing rainbows make the end before you die

Not for you a poor man's son

The dreams of fortune have begun

And once you're off the ground you have to fly

Plain Jane chasing rainbows building castles in the sky

Plain Jane chasing rainbows make the end before you die

Not for you a poor man's son

Your dreams of fortune have begun

And once you're off the ground

Once you're off the ground

Once you're off the ground you have to fly

And once you're off the ground you have to fly
