Jaded Lyrics

Hey...ja ja 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 'sposed to be
You're gettin' it all over me
Ex-er-ated

My my baby blue
Yeah I been thinkin' 'bout you
My my baby blue
Yeah you're so jaded
And I'm the one that jaded you

Hey...ja ja jaded
In all it's misery
It will always be what I love...and hated
And maybe take a ride to the other side
We're thinkin' of
We'll slip into the velvet glove
And be jaded

My my baby blue
Yeah I been thinkin' 'bout you
My my baby blue
Yeah I'm so jaded
And baby I'm afraid a you

You're thinkin' so complicated
I've had it all up to here
But it's so overrated
Love and hate it
Wouldn't trade it
Love me jaded...yeah...yeah

Hey...ja ja jaded
There ain't no baby please
When I'm shootin' the breeze with her
When everything you see is a blur
And ex-ta-ceez what you prefer

My my baby blue
I'm a talkin' 'bout you
My my baby blue
Yeah I been thinkin' '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

Jaded Song Chart

People become jaded when they are bored or annoyed, often because they are overindulged and take things for granted. The girl in the song is given everything, which denies her the chance to really feel and experience life.

According to lead singer Steven Tyler, he wrote this song while thinking of his youngest daughter, and how he missed much of her childhood because he was touring. He feels he jaded her and himself by not being available due to band commitments or drug problems. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)

Tyler stuttered his vocal like Roger Daltrey did on The Who's "My Generation."

Steven Tyler and Joe Perry wrote this song and produced it. Just Push Play was the first album they produced themselves.

The Tower of Power horn section played on the album, but were buried in the mix. Emilio Castillo, who is a founding member of Tower of Power, told us: "Aerosmith hired Tower of Power horns after years and years of wanting us to play on their records. They finally decided to do it and Joey Kramer called me up and they said they had their own arranger and I explained to Joey, 'I'm not sure who this guy is but I need to tell you something: When people use their own arrangers, a lot of times it doesn't come out sounding like Tower of Power horns. If you want the real sound you should use our arranger.' He says, 'Yeah, well, this guy's a good friend, he's very talented, he's done some arrangements for Barbra Streisand.' And I said, 'Well, obviously it's your choice, we'll come in and play his arrangements.' He says, 'How about this, if at any time during the session you feel that the arrangement is not Tower of Power worthy, you just tell us - we'll call the session, reschedule, hire your horn arranger and redo it.'

So I fly into LA, we go to one of the top studios in LA where Steely Dan recorded their famous records and here's this guy, he's a nice guy, and he's a good musician but he's not really a horn arranger. Basically, he wrote a lot of guitar parts for the horns. So, the bottom line is when the record came out, you can't even hear the horns on the record and the reason for that is Aerosmith is a guitar band, so what are you going to mix? Are you going to mix the guitars down so you can hear the horns or are you going to mix the guitars up? Obviously you're going to mix the guitars up. I certainly wasn't going to say, 'Look, it's not sounding the way it should sound,' because we're there, they've got a big Indian food spread out there, they're spending a lot of money and they all think it's fabulous. I couldn't say anything, I wasn't going to stop the session. But the next time they call me, I will insist they use our arranger and I will tell them why."

Aerosmith performed this at halftime of the 2001 Super Bowl. They also played "Walk This Way," with *NSYNC, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, and Nelly singing with them.

This was the first single from Just Push Play, which was released the year Aerosmith was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Tyler (from Q magazine): "When I hit on the melody for 'Jaded,' it was so phenomenal that for a while I was scared to do anything more with it. I didn't even tell the band."

Aerosmith performed this on Saturday Night Live in 2001, two days before they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Aerosmith recorded this at Joe Perry's house, where he has a studio called The Boneyard.

This won a Nickelodeon Teen Choice Award in 2001. It was presented to the band by Britney Spears, who sang with Aerosmith at the Super Bowl on "Walk This Way."

Tina Yothers, who played Jennifer Keaton on Family Ties, had a band at the time called Jaded.

A teenaged and unknown Mila Kunis was in the video. She would later star in That '70s Show and the movie Black Swan.

"Jaded" proved to be Aerosmith's last big hit. Over the next decade, they released a blues-covers album called Honkin' on Bobo and suffered some setbacks because of band tensions and Steven Tyler's medical problems - he was diagnosed with Hepatitis C in 2002.

In 2011, interest in the band was renewed when Tyler became a judge on American Idol, and the following year they released the album Music from Another Dimension!

Tyler wrote this with Marti Frederiksen, who has worked with Aerosmith since the mid-1990s. "That song was my first pop hit," Frederiksen recalled to The Boombox . "I don't know what happened that day, but it all came to me and Steven in a few hours. We were at his house and I remember he was on the phone. Anyway, I started playing the main riff and singing the melody. I didn't have the word 'jaded' yet -- that was his thing. But what I really thought was genius was the stutter when he sings, 'ja-ja-ja-jaded.' Steven came up with that."
