When we were young
We could play all day long
By ourselves
We believed that we could
Run a store and a school
All my room
And we always wished that summer
Would come real soon

Then we grew up
We fought and made up
Like all friends do
Then I moved away
To far, far away
And for so long
We shared heart breaks
And crushes on the phone

Janie, oh Janie
Why are you
So far away now?

Janie, Janie
Did I let you down
Did I hurt you somehow
Did I, Janie?

Now that I'm here to stay
I see you less than when I was away
And when we talk on the phone
Time is short and there's so much to say
And I wonder if our friendship has faded away

Janie, oh Janie
Why are you
So far away now?

Janie, Janie
Did I let you down
Did I hurt you somehow
Did I, Janie?

I know you're hurting now
But I'm here, Janie
