Lyrics

Jenny Say

Jenny say, say it’s not true
Jenny say, you could be wrong
I can see it in your eyes
Jenny say, don’t say it’s true
Jenny say, you must be wrong
Can’t you see it’s not my time
No it’s not my time

Cold night late in summer
August leaves you all alone
We met I remember in the street that night
I think back on all the smiles
All the laughs and candid talk
I didn’t think I could ever talk that long
But together we sang lonely songs

Jenny say, say it’s not true
Jenny say, you could be wrong
I can see it in your eyes
Jenny say, don’t say it’s true
Jenny say, you must be wrong
Can’t you see it’s not my time
No it’s not my time

We ran through the forest
Leaves were falling all around
To our shotgun shack unknown on Soldier Hill
I think back on all passion
Teenage dreams in sleeping bags
I didn’t think I could ever love that strong
But she kept it comin’ all night long

Jenny say, say it’s not true
Jenny say, you could be wrong
I can see it in your eyes
Jenny say, don’t say it’s true
Jenny say, you must be wrong
Can’t you see it’s not my time
No it’s not my time

Outside the county clinic
Windshield wipers smearing rain
I wait so impatient for her test of fate
I think back on all desires
All my dreams and college schemes
I didn’t think things could ever turn so wrong
Should the baby of two kids be born

Jenny say, say it’s not true
Jenny say, you could be wrong
I can see it in your eyes
Jenny say, don’t say it’s true
Jenny say, you must be wrong
Can’t you see it’s not my time
No it’s not my time
