[Verse 1]
Janie came home for the summer
She fell in love with the bass player's brother
Playing cop under covers
Slick hands like butter
He had a buzz cut
August of '90
She was a box dyed blonde in a pipe dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Love is a car chase
Crash into mistakes
Sooner or later, you're packing a suitcase
Singin' like
[Chorus]
Come on, baby
Tell me that you hate me
You're running in circles in my mind
Heartache to heartache
Give me some tough love, baby
Say it isn't me that's got you
Running in circles in my mind
Heartache to heartache, it's alright
It's alright
[Verse 2]
Hot blood in the summer
She fell in love with the bass player's brother
Couple years down the gutter
But Janie, you can't change him
Like a haircut, Mr. America
He took her paper heart just to tear it up
[Pre-Chorus]
Love is a car chase
Crash into mistakes
Sooner or later, you're packing up, packing up, packing up
[Chorus]
Come on, baby
Tell me that you hate me
You're running in circles in my mind
Heartache to heartache
Give me some tough love, baby
Say it isn't me that's got you
Running in circles in my mind
Heartache to heartache, it's alright
[Post-Chorus]
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
[Chorus]
Come on, baby
Tell me that you hate me
You're running in circles in my mind
Heartache to heartache
Give me some tough love, baby
Say it isn't me that's got you
Running in circles in my mind
Heartache to heartache, it's alright
[Post-Chorus]
Come on, baby (Ah)
C—c—come on, baby (Ah)
