Come in, sit down, pull up a chair
Speak the truth when you tell me your cares
Don't be afraid to talk to your brother
Get a hold of yourself and dry up your tears
We'll start at the start and end at the end
You'll find that your mind might possibly mend
Oh, I'm sure I can help you ‘cause you can't help yourself
Have you fallen in love again?
Have you fallen in love again?
Sister Jane, you gonna change your name
You gotta get out soon before you go insane
Before the town starts talking when they see you out walking
It sure does seem a shame
Yes, it sure does seem a shame
Sister Jane, you gonna change your name
And I suggest you catch the 12:45 plane
Before the family finds out just what you've done
And holds you at the point of a gun
And that ain't gonna be much fun
Sister Jane
We'll talk of the future, we'll talk of the past
The odds were against you, it never could last
You can't think opinions will change overnight
When you know what you done just ain't right
You don't mean to tell me, you finally done it
You played at the game and you thought you had won it
And now that you find that you're way out of line
Well, some people call it a crime, yeah
You really have done it this time
Sister Jane, you gonna change your name
You gotta get out soon before you go insane
Before the town starts talking when they see you out walking
It sure does seem a shame
Yes, it sure does seem a shame
Sister Jane
You told me the truth, you opened your mind
I said I would listen and help you unwind
My dear sister Jane, you've caused nothing but pain
And I really must tell you this time:
I knew all along you had to go wrong
In this kind of town you could never belong
I'm sorry for you and I'm sorry for me
This is the way it should end
'Cause you've fallen in love again
Well, sister Jane, you gonna change your name
You gotta get out soon before you go insane
Before the town starts talking when they see you out walking
It sure does seem a shame
Sister Jane, you gonna change your name
And I suggest you catch the 12:45 plane
Before the family finds out just what you've done
And holds you at the point of a gun
