Oh Janey's blood is gold
Though she never let it show
So how was I to know then
But Janey's love is strong
When she holds me in her arms
She can settle my ailments

When I meet her eye
Janey always breaks a smile
Sheds a light in my life

That you love", and Janey knows

He's not open-hearted
Ever since we parted
Jaded and well-guarded
Jaded and well-guarded
