Jane, I've made it plain, Although I'm faded as a ghost I want you here inside me Say the word Oh, you've been playing nice, But I can see it in your eyes, You're thinking, "Christ. He's everybody's girl." You can't spend the night Jane, I've seen you at the club You were tearin' up the rug With no regard for form You're such a brute! You had a ready elbow For the girls you hate Or just don't know You head-butt me, Cos you thought it was cute You can't spend the night Yes, I'm sure you're right You can't spend the night Yeah, I'm sure you're right You can't spend the night Yes, I'm sure you're right But we could spend the night together Or alone. That would be better It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody Oh, what's the use of making a bed? I took something and it feels like karate It's kicked me down and left me for dead It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody, So what's the use of pulling a shape? I put what I want, when I want, in my body I'm never gonna give what I take Jane, I've seen the pain you've dealt You've been with all my friends You tell me guard my heart, I might get hurt No doubt you'll hurt my feelings, And it's a given I'll be kneeling But I'm telling myself That it's gonna be worth it
