Dick and Jane Lyrics

I used to kick it with this couple, let's call them: Dick and Jane

They were crazy for one another but drove each other insane

One week they'd be together, then the next they'd be apart

I always wondered why they loved to feel that tearing in their hearts

Then the time came when Jane was late to drop her eggs

Started regretting every time that she had spread her legs

And Dick was pissed off, he wanted nothing to do with that mess

He really didn't want to put that girl in a white dress

Cuz every time that things went cold, he wanted to run

But he stuck by her side, to be a father to his son

When their bundle of joy was born, he was right there

While Jane cursed his name and told him that it wasn't fair

That she had to carry the baby, go through the pain

She didn't want a child with Dick, didn't want his last name

Didn't need him in her life, only needed his cash

He cut a check and his son's name and made a quick dash

Life doesn't always go the way you want it to

It doesn't always lend a hand to make it through

Sometimes you might have to bend or break the rules

But when you reach the end you have to face the truth

Now, Dick and Jane still keep in touch to this very day

But only when it comes to matters that deal with the kid they made

Dick always has a different woman, every time I see him

Trying to live it up in the clubs and the pubs every evening

It's his fountain of youth, it keeps him feeling like he's free

From the life that almost chained him down, it'll never be

He'll never slow up long enough to settle in one place

Doesn't want to have that burden, strapped tight around his waist

Jane is the same way, she floats through time and space

Looking for the next prince to put a smile on her face

She thought she had it figured out, trapped a rebound

He was the perfect man to be that guy who's always around

And he had one of his own, from a prior engagement

Now a family of four, with a living arrangement

He nearly hit the floor when Jane gave him the news

Another child on the way, now he's wearing Dick's shoes

Life doesn't always go the way you want it to

It doesn't always lend a hand to make it through

Sometimes you might have to bend or break the rules

But when you reach the end you have to face the truth
