Hey, j-j-jaded
You got your mama’s style
But you’re yesterday’s child to me
So jaded
You think that’s where it’s at
But is that where it’s supposed to be?
You’re getting it all over me, ex-rated
My, my baby blue
Yeah, I been thinking about you
My, my baby blue
Yeah, you’re so jaded
And I’m the one that jaded you
Hey, j-j-jaded
In all its misery
It will always be what I love and hated
And maybe take a ride to the other side
We’re thinking of
We’ll slip into the velvet glove
And be jaded
My, my baby blue
Yeah, I’m thinking about you
My, my baby blue
Yeah, I’m so jaded
And baby, I’m afraid of you
Your thinking’s so complicated
I’ve had it all up to here
But it’s so overrated
Love and hated
Wouldn’t trade it
Love me jaded
Hey, j-j-jaded
There ain’t no baby, please
When I’m shooting the breeze with her
When everything you see is a blur
And ecstasy’s what you prefer
My, my baby blue
I’ma talking ’bout you
My, my baby blue
Yeah, I’ve been thinking ’bout you
My, my baby blue
Yeah, you’re so jaded (Baby)
Jaded (Baby)
You’re so jaded
‘Cause I’m the one that jaded you
The Story Behind “Jaded”
“Jaded” by Aerosmith is a raw reflection on love, loss, and emotional transformation. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship burdened by emotional baggage and the inevitable jadedness that follows. Steven Tyler’s vocals capture both the longing and frustration of loving someone who has become disenchanted. The recurring phrase “my, my baby blue” is both affectionate and melancholic, suggesting a deep connection overshadowed by regret and complexity. The song explores the push and pull between passion and cynicism, highlighting how relationships can shift from vibrant to weary, with each party both loving and resenting the changes they’ve endured.
