| Oh mother, say a prayer for me Jesse’s back in town, it won’t be easy
|
| Don’t let him near me Don’t let him touch me Don’t let him please me
|
| (Chorus)
|
| Jesse, I won’t cut fresh flowers for you
|
| Jesse, I won’t make the wine cold for you
|
| Jesse, I won’t change the sheets for you
|
| I won’t put on cologne
|
| I won’t sit by the phone for you
|
| Annie, keep reminding me That he cut out my heart like a paper doll
|
| Sally, tell me once again
|
| How he set me up just to see me fall
|
| Chorus
|
| Jesse, quick come here
|
| I won’t tell a soul
|
| Not even myself
|
| Jesse, that you’ve come back to me My friends will all say «She's gone again'
|
| But how can anyone know what you are to me That I’m in heave again because you’ve come back to me — Oh Jessie!
|
| Jesse, I’ll always cut fresh flowers for you
|
| Jesse, I’ll always make the wine cold for you
|
| Jesse, I can easily change my mind about you
|
| And put on cologne
|
| And sit by the phone for you
|
| Jesse, let’s open the wine
|
| And drink to the heart
|
| Which has a will of it’s own
|
| My friends, let’s comfort them
|
| They’re feeling bad
|
| They think I’ve sunk so low
|
| Jesse, I’ll always cut fresh flowers for you
|
| Jesse, I’ll always make the wine cold for you
|
| Jesse, I will change the sheets for you
|
| Put on cologne
|
| And I will wait by the phone for you — Oh Jesse! |
