I imagine this as a kinda ‘70s soul song (I love soul)
perhaps sung by somebody like Al Green..

Sweet Jane (Call On Me)

Out of the blue
sweet sweet Jane
I got some designs on you
I got some money in my pocket
and firecrackers under my shoes
baby I gotta move
so if you're ever bored, call on me
sweet sweet Jane

Straight through the eyes
sweet sweet Jane
you've got me hypnotized
you've got water for a thirsty man
and all your heartbreaks memorized
honey I gotta fly
so when your man leaves town, call on me
sweet sweet Jane

Sweet Jane
sweeter than a treat
absolutely neater than neat
you fill my days with sugar rush reverie
nowhere else I'd rather be
than wrapped in the calm waves of your embrace
the outline of each moment finger traced
I'll say it plain
stay beside me always, sweet Jane

Out of the blue
sweet sweet Jane
I got some designs on you
I got some money in my pocket
and firecrackers under my shoes
baby I gotta groove
so if you need a good man
I want you to call on me
and I’ll be there
sweet sweet Jane
sweeter than a treat
absolutely neater than neat
you fill my days with sugar rush reverie
nowhere else I'd rather be
than with you

You come up with the most endearing phrases.
The calm waves and finger traced
....takes my breath away.  You did good soul man,
You always do.

Souls, Yes..wonderfully written,
love the line "you fill my days with sugar rush reverie" it rolls out easy & beautiful,
along with others too.
I agree.."Al Green'.or 'Usher', & currently
'Rozier'..who has that blusey R & B kind of voice..especially on 'Movement'.

Enjoyed..

Sky~
