[Verse 1]
Paint them a picture, Jane
And you can hang it on the wall
Tell them it's me they see
Don't tell them why I'm so small
If they ask you why I'm crying
Just tell them someone is dying

[Chorus]
And that he was just a friend
Don't let 'em see that you pretend
Paint them a picture, Jane
Put it in a frame
One with lots of runny colors
Sign it with your name
Sign your name
Sign your name

[Verse 2]
Paint them a picture, Jane
Like the one you painted for me
Tell them that I'm in love
But don't tell them they will see
If they ask you why I'm crying
Just tell them someone is dying
[Chorus]
And that he was just a friend
Don't let 'em see that you pretend
Paint them a picture, Jane
Put it in a frame
One with lots of runny colors
Sign it with your name
Sign your name
Oh, sign your name

[Outro]
(All you gotta do is sign, sign)
Sign your name
Sign your name
Sign your name
