[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 a paper heart just to tear it up

[Pre-Chorus]
Love is a car chase
Crash into mistakes
Sooner or later, you`re packing a—, packing a—, packing a—

[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)
