[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
