Lyrics

[Intro] (0:00 - 3:51 Instrumental) [Sweet Jane] [Verse 1: Lou Reed] Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest Me, honey I'm in a rock 'n' roll band Ridin'a Stutz Bearcat, Jim Those were different times They studied rules of verse And ladies, they rolled their eyes [Chorus: Lou Reed] Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane [Verse 2: Lou Reed] Jack, he is a banker Jane, she is a clerk Both of them save their money When they come home from work Sittin' there by the fire The radio does play A little classical music there kids "The March of the Wooden Soldiers" You can hear Jack say [Chorus: Lou Reed] Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane [Verse 3: Lou Reed] Some people like to go out dancing 'Cause other people like us, we gotta work There's even some evil mothers They'll tell you that life is just made outta dirt That women never really faint Oh, the villains always blink their eyes That children are the only ones who blush And life is just to die Anyone who had a heart They wouldn't turn around and break it Anyone who ever played a part They wouldn't turn around and hate it [Chorus: Lou Reed] Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, ah now sweet Jane Sweet Jane, ah, sweet Jane, sweet Jane, sweet Jane
