Plain Jane - B. J. Thomas

Come all to the the junior/senior prom

The biggest occasion

Of the year

And now the time was here

All the girls were going

They all had a date

But what about Jane

What about Plain Jane

She wasn’t pretty

Kids made fun of her

But she was gentle as a kittens purr

Still she

Had to feel the pain

When they called her name

Plain Jane

Poor Plain Jane

Oh how she wanted to go to the prom

But no one would ask Plain Jane

Poor little girl

Living in a cold cold world

And lonely she was lonely as could be But then the phone rang

Someone asked for Jane

Tears began to flow like rain

But they were tears of joy

The call was from a boy

Asking Jane to the prom

Plain Jane was going to the prom

She was all excited

Couldn’t wait

Going on her very first date

Spent the whole day getting dressed

Had to look her very best

But now its half past eight

Guess her dates gonna be late

Meanwhile at the prom

Everyone was laughing 'bout the trick they’d played

And the boy who’d made the call

He was laughing loudest of all

But their joy turned to tears instead

When the morning paper said a girl was dead

Too much pain for a girl with a name

Plain Jane

Just too much pain for girl with a name

Plain Jane
