Plain Jane

Album: Picking Up the Pieces (2015)

  • You wear couture clothing like a hunter wears camouflage
    Hiding insecurity hoping no one ever catches on
    You like to read scientific magazines like Vanity Fair
    There was a well-written article about serotonin in there

    You keep the same company you think Coco kept too
    You wear a bracelet on your wrist that says What Would Elvis Do?
    You make snide comments in private but in public you're fashionably green
    You're ironic, but not too proud to brag, you know what it really means

    Oh, cynicism has begun to numb the pain
    Fashion still works until you realize you're the same
    Plain Jane

    You have a rock hard body but you only make love in the dark
    Beneath painted legs you're afraid they'll see what's really in your heart
    You say cool things like at least murder is interesting
    Cause the worst crime a person can commit in life is to be boring

    Oh, cynicism has begun to numb the pain
    Fashion still works until you realize you're the same
    Plain Jane

    Such a sweet face, just embrace the real you
    You will see it's just lovely and more than enough to be loved
    Yes, loved
    Loved

    Oh, cynicism has begun to numb the pain
    And fashion still works until you realize you're the same
    Plain
    What's wrong with plain old Jane?
    Kinda like plain Jane
    I like plain Jane Writer/s: Jewel Kilcher
