Baby Jane don´t leave me hanging on the line I knew you when you had no one to talk to Now you´re moving in high society Don´t forget I know secrets about you I used to think you were on my side But now I´m no longer sure I wish I knew what I know now before When I give my heart again I know it´s gonna last forever No one tell me where or when I know it´s gonna last forever Baby Jane don´t it make you feel sad Just when I thought that we were winning You and I were so close in every way Don´t time fly when you´re loving and laughing I´ve said goodbye so many times The situation ain´t all that new Optimism´s my best defense I´ll get through without you When I give my heart again I know it´s gonna last forever No one tell me where or when I know it´s gonna last forever I won´t be that dumb again I know it´s gotta last forever When I fall in love again I know it´s gonna last forever Baby Jane I´ve said all I want to say Go your own way don´t think twice about me Cause I´ve got ideas and plans of my own So long darlin´ I´ll miss you believe me The lesson learned was so hard to swallow But I know that I´ll survive I´m gonna take a good look at myself and cry When I give my heart again I know it´s gonna last forever No one tell me where or when I know it´s gonna last forever When I fall in love next time I know it´s gonna last forever I won´t be that dumb again I know it´ll last forever
