Plain Jane

Lyrics & Info	Create Tabs	Performances (32)

You wear couture clothing like a hunter wears camouflage  Hiding insecurity hoping no one ever catches on  You like to read scientific magazines like Vanity Fair  There was a well-written article about serotonin in there You keep the same company you think Coco kept too  You wear a bracelet on your wrist that says What Would Elvis Do?  You make snide comments in private but in public you're fashionably green  You're ironic, but not too proud to brag, you know what it really means Oh, cynicism has begun to numb the pain  Fashion still works until you realize you're the same  Plain Jane You have a rock hard body but you only make love in the dark  Beneath painted legs you're afraid they'll see what's really in your heart  You say cool things like at least murder is interesting  Cause the worst crime a person can commit in life is to be boring Oh, cynicism has begun to numb the pain  Fashion still works until you realize you're the same  Plain Jane Such a sweet face, just embrace the real you  You will see it's just lovely and more than enough to be loved  Yes, loved  Loved Oh, cynicism has begun to numb the pain  And fashion still works until you realize you're the same  Plain  What's wrong with plain old Jane?  Kinda like plain Jane  I like plain Jane

Plain Jane Written by Jewel Albums Picking Up the Pieces, 2015 Length 3:49      (32 known performances) “I wrote this after being in New York for a week and being around some socialites. It’s about women – and I include myself, certainly – feeling this need to hide behind something because we don’t feel good enough exactly how we are. We have to somehow be prettier or smarter or dress better to be lovable. It’s really a song about self-acceptance and learning to love yourself and that ‘Plain Jane’ is beautiful.” — Picking Up the Pieces Press Release
