[Verse 1]
Dearest Jane, I should've known better
But I couldn't say hello, I don't know why
But now I think, I think you were sad
Yes, you were, you were, you were

[Verse 2]
What I say, I say only to you
'Cause I love and I love only you
Dearest Jane, I want to give you a dream
That no one has given you

[Chorus]
Remember when we found misery?
We watched her, watched her spread her wings
And slowly, slowly fly around our room
And she asked for your gentle mind

[Verse 3]
Misery is a butterfly
Her heavy wings will warp your mind
With her small ugly face
And her long antennae
And her black and pink heavy wings

[Chorus]
Remember when we found misery?
We watched her, watched her spread her wings
And slowly, slowly fly around our room
And she asked for your gentle mind
Gentle mind
Gentle mind
[Outro]
Misery is a butterfly
