Lyrics

Jane, you say it’s all overFor you and me girlThere’s a time for loveAnd a time for lettin’ it be baby
Jane, you’re playin’ a game calledCalled “hard to get” by its real nameMakin’ believe that you just don’t feel the sameOh Jane
Jane, you’re playin’ a gameYou never can win girlYou’re stayin’ away so I ask you“Where you been, baby?”
Like a cat and a mouse (cat and a mouse)From door to door and-a house to houseDon’t you pretend you don’t knowWhat I’m talking about
Were all those nights we spent together, hey heyOnly because you didn’t know betterI got to knowJane, you’re playin’ a gameYou’re playin’ a game, playin’ a game
Woah Jane you’re playin’ a gameOf hide and go seekJane you’re playin’ for funBut I play for keeps, yes I do(Jane, Jane, Jane)That’s a game on me, yeah(Jane, Jane, Jane)So plain to see(Jane, Jane, Jane)Janie, Janie, Janie, Janie, Janie(Jane, Jane, Jane)Why you foolin’ with me, me, me(Jane, Jane, Jane)(Jane, Jane, Jane)(Jane, Jane, Jane)(Jane, Jane, Jane)
