Jane - Barenaked Ladies

Written by Barenaked Ladies

This has always been my favorite BNL song. I heard it first before they hit it big in the US, and loved it. Maybe because it chronicles the whole affair, not just the falling in love part.

The girl works at the store Sweet Jane St Claire,
Was dazzeled by her smile while I shopped there.
It wasn't long before I lived with her;
I sang her songs while she dyed my hair.
 
Jane
Divided, but I can't decide what side I'm on
Jane
Decided only cowards stay while traitors run
Jane, Jane
 
I bring her gold and frankincense and myrrh
She thought that I was making fun of her
She made me feel I was fourteen again
That's why she thinks it's cooler if we just stay friends
 
Jane
Doesn't think a man can ever be faithful
Jane
Isn't giving me a chance to be shameful
Jane, Jane
 
I wrote a letter; she should have got it yesterday.
Life could be better by being together is what I cannot explain to Jane.
 
The girl works at the store Sweet Jane St Claire,
Still dazzeled by her smile while I steal things there.
No promises as vague as Heaven.
No Julianna next to my Evan.
 
Jane
Desired by the people at her school and work
Jane
Is tired cause every man becomes a love-sick jerk
Jane, Jane
