You were the wildest party I ever threw for myself
I can't forget the way that you're body felt
Or the weekends when your parents
Were traveling in Spain
You wore a miniskirt with no underwear
Bit me on the chest as I tugged on your hair
I pinned you to the bed
Til you started to scream my name
Jane, you never owed me the time of day
Good men don't leave home
For New York City anyway
Now the beaches by your place feel like foreign shores
All the girls look like girls who aren't girls anymore
All the boys are spouting off
With 16's tired cliches
They make me think about the song that I wrote for you
You memorized the words, but you never knew
All the voicings for the chords
Or how natural they felt to play
Jane, you never owed me the time of day
Good men don't leave home
For New York City anyway
Jane, you never owed me the time of day
Good men don't leave home
For New York City anyway
Feats of strength, the acid tests
I promise Jane, I won't forget
You'll kneel over me again
Inside your bedroom in my head
Happiness beguiles my sense
Leaving my soul in peace and quiet
Paris isn't burning like New England did
I promise Jane, I won't forget you, no
Jane, you never owed me the time of day
Good men don't leave home
For New York City anyway
Jane, you never owed me the time of day
Good men don't leave home
For New York City anyway
