Jackie Don't Go

Jackie was the focus of my fantasies
There was passion in the schoolyard
Upon the autumn leaves

Cuttin' class was gettin' easy
Throwin' good sense down the drain
While your touch would always please me
It was love that eased the pain

Believin' that good times forever last
And love is a thing of the past

Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again

I was head over heels, I was hard in love
I put Jackie on a pedestal so high above

Rock 'n roll became our savior
That alone was all it took
When it came to fool behavior
Me and Jackie, we wrote the book

Believin' that good friends forever last
Now, love is a thing of the past

Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again

Jackie stay, I'm livin' each day
In the streets of the city
Callin' your name, Jackie please
This is insane, let's do it again

In the beginning, all the time we spent together
Never further than a heartbeat away
Did you try and tell me, Jackie, you were leavin'?
I couldn't see beyond yesterday

Jackie, Jackie don't go, Jackie

Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again

Jackie stay, I'm livin' each day
In the streets of the city
Callin' your name, Jackie please
This is insane, let's do it again

Jackie no, Jackie don't go
You're a hard act to follow
Jackie go slow, Jackie please
I'm down on my knees, let's do it again
