Jenny Was

(intro)

Left my heart in bed that day,
But it must've caught up some way.
Started the car and do you know
What was playing on the radio?
"Jenny Was a Friend of Mine", ironic? Oh, c'mon!
Before I knew it I was singing along!

We took a walk that night
but it wasn't the same!
We had a fight on the promenade
out in the rain!
Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, oh c'mon!

As the tears sprang unbidden to my eyes,

Because Jenny was a friend of mine, yeah-ha!

(Bridge)

I saw her again later that day.
Oh c'mon! Tell me what I have to say!
I remember on that bus to hell, my front seat
Oh, how'd she come, the smile and the laugh,
Oh so sweet!
Oh, what I wouldn't give...
For one more chance to truly live!

I can't believe I
Couldn't see it all!
I wonder if the pain is better than
Nothing at all!
Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, oh c'mon!

As the tears sprang unbidden to my eyes,
Because Jenny was a friend of mine, yeah-ha!

(Instrumental Intermission)

I can't believe I
Couldn't see it all!
I wonder if the pain is better than
Nothing at all!
Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, oh c'mon!

I want to be closer, but
All the while!
It would be more than enough
Just to see her smile!
Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, oh c'mon

As the tears sprang unbidden to my eyes,
Because Jenny was a friend of mine, yeah-ha!
Whoaaaaaaah!

Because, Jenny was a friend of mine!

Jenny was a friend of mine!

Jenny was!

Oh, she was!

Ooooooohh...
