I’ve tried so hard to please you
Only if you knew how hard I’ve tried
But I don’t even know you
How am I supposed to show you? 
What I’ve got in mind

If you’d only give me half the chance
And not count me out so fast
You’d see I’d never be wrong
You’d see the magic in the stars so bright
And go walking in the soft moonlight
To an old love song

Please sweet Janet
Won’t you change your mind?
Please sweet Janet
I’ve been waiting for all this time

Janet, what can I do?
To keep from loving you it’s just not easy
I’ll do anything I can
Just to try to make you understand 
The way you’ve got me feeling

You helped me learn right from wrong
You’re the reason I wrote this song
Oh you gotta believe me
Wherever I happen to go 
Whatever I happen to do
You know I’ll never forget you

Please sweet Janet
Won’t you change your mind?
Please sweet Janet
I’ve been waiting all this time
