  • Well Janey's got a doctor who tears apart her insides
    He investigates her and silently bates her sighs
    He probes with his fingers but knows her heart only through his stethoscope
    His hands are cold and his body's so old
    Janey turns him down like dope

    Janey needs a shooter now
    A shooter like me on her side
    Janey needs a shooter now
    A shooter man who knows her style
    The way that I know her style

    Well Janey's got a priest from his marble pulpit he smiles
    He provides consolation and he hears her confession at any time
    In the pages of his bible he holds from what Janey hides
    And with her doors open wide she begs, "Come inside"
    But he's been frozen so long on the outside

    Janey needs a shooter now
    A shooter like me on her side
    Janey needs a shooter now
    A shooter man who knows her style
    The way that I know her style, yeah

    Well Janey's got a cop who lives 'round the block and checks on her every night
    The skin turn pale as the siren he'd wail outside when he knew I was inside
    Janey's small and sometimes he scared her
    So I held her real close, she was more saint than a ghost
    And told her I so long had been prepared for her

    Janey needs a shooter now
    A shooter like me on her side
    Janey needs a shooter now
    A shooter man who knows her style
    Janey needs a shooter now
    A shooter like me on her side
    Janey needs a shooter now
    A shooter man who knows her style
    The way that I know her style
    A man who knows her style
    The way that I know her style
    A man who knows her style
    The way that I know her style
    A man who knows her style
    The way that I know her style
    A man who knows her style
    The way that I know her style
    A man who knows her style
    The way that I know her style
    A man who knows her style
    The way that I know her style Writer/s: Bruce Springsteen
