Best Sappy Songs

I am in a sappy mood today, so I thought I'd share a sappyesque song by my fav contemporary sappy songster Ben Folds. While I still think The Luckiest is his best sappy tribute to a woman, I believe that he has many other relationship oriented goodies in his bag of lyrics. So, here is one entitled Jane. It was recorded live at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. on the 6/12/02. I guess this could be another reason to (sort of) like D.C.!

Jane

Jane be Jane
you're better that way
not when you're trying
imitating something
you think you saw

so Jane be Jane
and if sometimes that might
drive them away
let 'em stay there
you don't need 'em anyway

You're worried there might not be anything at all inside
the fact your worried, should tell you that's not right
don't try to see yourself the way that others do
it's no use

You're worried there might not be anything at all inside
but that your worried, should tell you that's not right
you've had it harder than anyone can know
so hard to let it go

but its your life
you can decorate it as you like
beneath the painted armour
in your eyes
the truth still shines
Jane be Jane
Jane be Jane

Sweet, isn't it? Maybe I will post others on subsequant sappy days, as I am all about the good music promotion. Happy day everyone!
