Janine
Well I met a pretty woman on my way into town
There was something about her couldn't figure it out
Had some baby blue eyes and a smile that could kill
And the curves of her body it was really a thrill
I said "Hey there, how's it going?" Said "I'm doing okay"
"Are you from this place or are you going my way"
She said, "I ain't from Alabama but I'm definitely from these
United States"
I said "Whoa there so am I so can I get your name
I'll write a song about you and I'll sing it one day"
She said "I'm a singer too and I know what you mean
It's really nice to meet you and my name is Janine"
And I said
Oh Janine I got a one track mind if you know what I mean
I want to steal you away on out of this place
I want to spend the night next to your face and
Oh Janine I got a one track mind if you know what I mean
Because I'm driving till November and I hope to find
Some peace of mind
Some peace of mind
Some peace of mind
Won't you be mine tonight
Well I said I play piano she said she's in a band
Plays a Fender guitar and she's dating a man
Who calls her every ten seconds just to see where she is
She's like a caged bird who's got a feel for the wind
I said "Hey there that's a drag you should get yourself free
I'm driving out to Denver got a passenger seat"
She said "My Dad's from Colorado and I'd definitely go
But I ain't one to flee"
I said
"Yeah I know the feeling but you might go insane
If the love ain't alive then you should make an escape"
She said "I'm sure that I will and I know what you mean"
I said "I'm leaving tomorrow come on with me Janine"
And I said
Oh Janine I got a one track mind if you know what I mean
I want to steal you away on out of this place
I want to spend the night next to your face and
Oh Janine I got a one track mind if you know what I mean
Because I'm driving out to Denver and I hope to find
Some peace of mind
Some peace of mind
Some peace of mind
Won't you be mine tonight
Oh Janine
Oh Janine
I need your company
Because the road gets long girl
And I get so lonely
I want to learn your tricks
I want to share my secrets
It will be the trip of a lifetime
You better believe it
Oh and someone like you
I've just never seen it
She grabbed the keys from my pocket and she got in the car
Such a beautiful smile as she gave it start
I said "Now where the hell you going don't you need all your stuff"
She said "I'm a Beatle babe all I need is Love"
I said "Whoa there slow it down girl that's only a song
Go ahead and pack a bag and we'll move right along"
She said "What the hell you talking
McCartney and Lennon could never be wrong"
And then she lifted up her hair and she showed me her neck
All I need is Love
A tattoo
Respect
So I said "Well there you go it's me and you and the street
What a perfect little story and I love you Janine"
And I said
Oh Janine I got a one track mind if you know what I mean
I want to steal you away on out of this place
Want to spend the night next to your face and
Oh Janine I got a one track mind if you know what I mean
Because I'm driving out to Denver and I hope to find
Some peace of mind
Some peace of mind
Some peace of mind
Won't you be mine tonight
Won't you be mine tonight
Oh, Janine
