Lyrics
Calamity Jane
By Ted Horrell
I know I made you feel like
And I guess I know I’ll pay for it
But I didn’t mean to hurt your mom
I didn’t mean to hurt your friends
Yeah I know it feels real bad
Don’t think I’m not aware of that
But there’s nothing left for me to say
So I guess I’ll say I’m sorry
‘Cause it’s all I see
This calamity, Jane
And it’ll follow me
This calamity, Jane
I’d offer up some soothing words
But that would probably make it worse
So I’ll linger in the bombed out shell
Of a love that didn’t make it
I know you probably feel alone
Like it’s only you that hears you moan
And though I know I shouldn’t speak
At least I’ll say I hear you
‘Cause it’s all I see
This calamity, Jane
And it’ll follow me
This calamity, Jane
I don’t regret that I once loved you
Though I guess I know you do
I only wish that I could first meet you again
So I could help to pull you through
I know you probably feel alone
Like it’s only you that hears you moan
And though I know I shouldn’t speak
I hear you
