she loves the jerk |
|
We've
talked it to death, cryin' on the telephone. |
Nights
when he drinks at home, she has to whisper throught her tears. |
"Johnny,"
she says, "you'd never do these things to me." |
But
I can never make her see he's wasted such precious years. |
Well,
"you married the wrong guy" is all I ever say. |
|
CHORUS: |
He's
a no good so and so, but she'll never let him go |
Though
she knows it will never work, she loves the jerk. |
She
loves the jerk. |
|
He
was the guy always out on the make. |
I
guess he had what it takes to turn the heads of pretty girls. |
She
thought he would change; the worst of us will settle down. |
But
he couldn't stay out of town, not even with this precious pearl |
Now
she lives with the lies and the bumps and the bruises. |
|
REPEAT
CHORUS |
|
Well,
I hang up the phone and I pretend she's in my arms. |
What
I wouldn't give for just one-tenth of what she gives Mister
Charming. |
|
REPEAT
CHORUS |
|
He's
a no good so and so, but she'll never let him go. |
Though
she knows it will never work, she loves the jerk |
