"Plain Jane" lyrics

"Plain Jane"

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
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
