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

Love is a car chase
Crash into mistakes
Sooner or later, you're packing a suitcase
Singin' like

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

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 a paper, hard just to tear it up

Love is a car chase
Crash into mistakes
Sooner or later, you're packing a-, packing a-, packing a

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
It's alright
It's alright

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

Come on, baby (ah)
C-c-come on, baby (ah)
