Lyrics Sweet Jane - The Velvet Underground

Sweet Jane

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
