Baby Jane Lyrics
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
This is one of his best songs, at least I think so. But Rod Stewart got a lot of beautiful songs and lyrics too. Baby Jane is about this girl he's in love with but is moving away - to a high society. This is like a goodbye song to her. Ain't I right? I find in very weird that no one has ever commented on this song.
I think this song is about a girl that he was with that has suddenly changed, she's moving to high society and leaving him alone. and the next time he finds someone he won't make the mistake he made with baby jane
"I won't be that dumb again". Ha! Famous last words said a dozen times.
Baby Jane is a selfconscience gold-digging whore seducing and using the person from whom's perspective Rod sings.
Classic storytelling... Literally all his songs make me second-guess whether it's about him or someone else.
Rod went wrong in the late seventies but his early eighties output is a bit underrated IMO. This song, Tonight I’m Yours, Young Turks (an early MTV Classic) - good stuff!
Rod is a user of human growth hormone thats why he looks OK for his age, he gets it here hghuk.biz
