Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his coat, and Jane is her vest, and me
I'm in a rock'n'roll band Hah!
Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
Y'know, those were different times!
Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes
Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet
Jane!

I'll tell you something
Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
Both of them save their monies, ha
And when, when they come home from work
Sittin' down by the fire, oh!
The radio does play
The classical music there, Jim
"The March of the Wooden Soldiers"
All you protest kids
You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah
Sweet Jane! Come on baby! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a!
Sweet Jane!

Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, they have to work, Just watch me
now!
And there's even some evil mothers
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Y'know that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!
And that, life is just to die!
And, everyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh wouldn't turn around and hate it!

Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!

Sweet Jane Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane Sweet Jane

Lyric

Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand
Jackie's in the schoolyard, Jane is in her vest
I'm in a rock 'n' roll band
Riding a Stutz Bearcat
You know, those were different times
All the poets, they studied rules of verse
And the ladies, they just rolled their eyes

Now Jackie, he's a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
And both of them save up their monies
When they get home from work
Sitting right down by the fire
The radio it does play
Classical music, the March of the Wooden Soldiers
You should hear Jack say

Sweet Jane
Woah, sweet Jane
Woah, sweet Jane

Some people, they go out dancing
And some people, they have to work
And there's even some evil mothers
Gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
They say women never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes
Children are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die
Well, anyone who ever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
Well, anyone who ever played a part
They wouldn't turn around and hate it

I say, sweet Jane
Woah, sweet Jane
Woah, sweet Jane
Woah, sweet, sweet Jane

Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to me when you smile
Sha lala lala la, sha lala lala la
Sha lala lala la, sha lala lala la
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane

And anyone who ever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
They wouldn't turn around and hate it

Does anyone have a heart?
Has anyone ever had a heart?
Has anyone ever had a heart?
Has anyone ever had a heart?

Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
