When we were young, we could play all day long by ourselves
We believed that we could run a store and a school all in my room
And we always wished that summer would come real soon
When we grew up, we fought and made up like all friends do
Then I moved away, too far, far away and for so long
We shared heartbreaks 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, 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
