Janine Tab

(intro)       

       
She's sitting on the corner of her bed
       
In a small rented room in Montreal 
               
Long curly hair, hands between her knees 

With her head hung down 

She hasn't said a word since morning 
             
I don't understand 
                                      
She usually talks like a little bird 
                              
Today she hasn't made a sound

                                            
Janine,    Janine,      talk to me,     Janine


            
Don't even know if she's listening to me 
            
I might be talking to myself hopelessly 
                                
While she looks right through me 

Like I'm not even here 

If only there were something I could say 
   
To make her believe it's going to be okay 
            
And there's just no way 
                               
She'll ever have to live alone



                                                
Janine,    Janine,       believe in me,     Janine   
                                               
Oh Janine,  Ooh Janine   believe in me,     Janine

(SOLO)             


Janine, don't you see that it doesn't really matter 
        
What anybody says, what anybody does 

I'll still love you 
          
I'll still love you 

And if the world's getting harder and harder 
             
To understand 

And you need a hand 
              
I'll be there when you need me 
                     
I'm going to be there when you need me


                                             
Janine,    Janine,     you're not alone,    Janine 
                                             
Janine,  Oh Janine    you're not alone,    Janine
