Janine [Bowie]

Oh, my love, Janine
I'm helpless for your smile

Like a Polish wanderer, I travel ever onwards to your land
And were it not just for the jewels, I'd close your hand

Your strange demand
To collocate my mind

Scares me into gloom, you're too intense, I'll have to keep you in your place
I've no defence, I've got to keep my veil on my face

Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well
But I've got things inside my head that even I can't face
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash the walls
But if you take an axe to me, you'll kill another man, not me at all

You're fey, Janine
A trooper to the last

But if I catch you standing on my toes, I'll have the right to shout you down
For you're a lazy stream in which my thoughts would drown

So stay, Janine
And we can glide along

I've caught your wings for laughs, I'm not obliged to read your statements of the year
So take your glasses off and don't act so sincere

Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well
But I've got things inside my head that even I can't face
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash the walls
But if you take an axe to me, you'll kill another man, not me at all

Yeah, oh, oh

Ooo

Janine
Hey, Janine

Janine
Hey, hey, Janine

Janine
Ooo, hey, Janine

Janine, yeah

Janine, Janine, Janine

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
