[Verse 1]
JGanie only cries when she dDrinks
That's when she wEmakes up all the nCeighbourhood
LeGaves a trail of teDars around her fAmeet
JanGie says that she never kDnows
But she's afEmraid of how it just coCmes and goes
AfGraid she'll lose her Dway on her own stAmreet
[Chorus]
BCut all the coGps they knDow about her
SChe's got so mGany friDends around her
TChat when she feBmels she's sinking dEmown
TAmhere's a thousand arms to brDing her back arouCndG  
[Verse 2]
JaGnie says that she never slDeeps
She wears a rEmed fur hat in the sCummer heat
LeGans her painted bDike against your dAmoor
CGatch her when she goes for a wDalk
She says it caEmlms her down just to hCear you talk
YGou tell her thiDngs you've never said befAmore
[Chorus]
JaCnie looks rGight intDo your eyes
SCays you mGust realiDze
NCot everything Bmyou think is tEmrue
And the wAmriting on the Dwall is there for yoCuG

I Bmknow it's hard to see lEmife so many ways
You get caAmught up in the thick of it
You doCn't know what you thDink of it and
OBmne thing she told me is when you fEmeel you're so confused
You just wAmait until the moment passes
Wait uCntil the momDent fades away
[Verse 3]
JGanie only cries when she dDrinks
That's when she wEmakes up all the nCeighbourhood
LeGaves a trail of teDars around her fAmeet
