Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels - Take A Ride (US Release)

Baby Jane (Mo-Mo Jane)

My eyes were on the sparrow
My feet were on the ground
I used to walk the straight and narrow
Never fly around

'til one night at a party
I met you Baby Jane
I was a fool to lose my cool
But you drive me insane

I ain't masochistic
But why do I dig the pain?

I don't know
I don't know
Mo-mo-mo Jane
You mess me up

Don't know why I'm attracted to you
I can never tell
It must be your perfume
That fills the room I love to smell

You are my ruination
You knock me off my feet
I can't resist temptation
Thinking of your love so sweet

I don't know
I don't know
Mo-mo-mo Jane
You mess me up

Survival of the fittest
In the forest like a tree
I might as well be hemlock
Oh the way your chokin' me

The sky's getting cloudy
There's a veil over my live
Somebody help me through the fog
Go cut it with a knife

I don't know
I don't know
Mo-mo-mo Jane
You mess me up

I promise we'll go places
So take me for awhile
But I know that your face
Is wearing automatic smiles

The dream I painted on you
Should have been indelible ink
But it just washes off
Just faster than my eyes can blink

I don't know
I don't know
Mo-mo-mo Jane
You mess me up

Uhh, I see you're just a baby
A human in drag
Without a heart you wander
In your own private bag

And when I told you I loved you
And to you I was a slave
You said you speak of things not real
So kindly do behave

I don't know
I don't know
Mo-mo-mo Jane
You mess me up

I don't know
I don't know
Mo-mo-mo Jane
You mess me up
