Janis Ian — Janeys Blues

[Verse 1] Janey's down, can't get off the ground Too low to fall, she can't come up at all Hey, Janey's just an accident Fatal mistake on the day after Lent And her parents always say "We don't need you today And we expect just the same" [Chorus] She's got a bluesy feeling in her eye And it's making her sigh Cry, cry for Janey [Verse 2] Well her mother plays on the golf course every day And her daddy, he sits at home and plays with the maid They've found the perfect alibi Stay together for the sake of the child You know divorce don't fit And they're too young to split Think they're martyrs but they're killing the kid [Chorus] She's got a bluesy feeling in her eye And it's making her sigh Cry... cry for Janey [Verse 3] Well they put her down And they knock it if she hits the ground Next moment, grab a purse And take her out on the town It's either a hit or a miss in the fight A slap by day, and a kiss at night You know their hating sets them free Loving only wants to see Janey taking sides [Chorus] She's got a bluesy feeling in her eye What can I do but sigh? Cry, cry for Janey Cry for Janey Cry for Janey [Organ Interlude]
