Just a girl who can't say no
|
And her sweetheart on parole
|
Parents named her Jupiter
|
To bless her with a lucky soul
|
He's a boy who never cried
|
When they locked him up inside
|
And she nicknamed him her teardrop
|
For the tattoo by his eye
|
|
Now she's sleeping in her bed
|
And he's sleeping in her bed
|
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
|
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
|
|
She divines by radio
|
Pushing buttons show to show
|
And she wonders 'bout the fate of
|
Lovers in the barrio
|
She forgets after a while
|
When she tunes in on the dial
|
Jackie Wilson's Lonely Teardrops
|
And she drives another mile
|
|
Now she's sleeping in her bed
|
And he's sleeping in her bed
|
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
|
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
|
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
|
|
And they want to have a child
|
Walk together down the aisle
|
But the world they live in is mean
|
And it's built on sheer denial
|
The phone rings it's for her
|
Got to see ya Jupiter
|
I'm in trouble with the law
|
Bring my 38 caliber
|
|
Now she's sleeping in her bed
|
As she pulls the phone plug dead
|
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
|
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
|
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop oh
|
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
|
And it's Jupiter and Tear oh
|
And it's Jupiter and Tear
|
Oh oh
|
Ooh ooh ooh
|
