The girl works at the store, sweet Jane St. Clair
Was dazzled 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 which side I`m on
Jane decided only cowards stay, while traitors run
Jane, Jane
I`d 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`d just stay friends
She thinks it’s cooler being
Jane doesn`t think a man could 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
That life could be better by being together
Is what I cannot explain to Jane
The girl works at the store, sweet Jane St. Clair
Still dazzled by her smile while I shoplift there
No promises as vague as Heaven
No Juliana next to my Evan
Jane, desired by the people at her school and work
Jane is tired `cause every man becomes a lovesick jerk
Jane, Jane ‘cmon
