Lyrics

Oh, Mother, say a prayer for me
Jesse's back in town
It won't be easy
Don't let him near me
Don't let him touch me
Don't let him tease me
Jesse, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
No, Jesse, and I won't make the wine cold for you
No, Jesse, I won't change the sheets for you
I won't put on cologne
I won't sit by the phone for you
Annie, keep reminding me
That he cut out my heart like a paper doll
Sally, tell me once again
How he set me up just to see me fall
Jesse, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
No, Jesse, I won't make the wine cold for you
No, Jesse, I won't change the sheets for you
I won't put on cologne
I won't sit by the phone for you
No, no, no
Jesse, quick come here, I won't tell a soul
Not even myself
Jesse, that you've come back to me
My friends will all say
"She's gone again"
But, how can anyone know what you are to me?
That I'm in heaven again
Because you've come back to me
Oh
Jesse
Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
And Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Oh, Jesse, I can easily change my mind about you
And put on cologne
And sit by the phone for you
Oh, yeah
Jesse, let's open the wine
And drink to the heart which has a will of it's own
My friends
(My friends)
Let's comfort them
They're feelin' bad
They think I've sunk so low
Jesse, I'l always cut fresh flowers for you
And Jesse, I will make the wine cold for you
Oh, Jesse, I will change the sheets for you
Put on cologne
And I will wait by the phone for you
Oh, Jesse
(La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la)
Oh, Jesse
(La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la)
Jesse, I will cut fresh flowers for you
And Jesse, yeah, make the wine cold for you
Oh, Jesse, and I will change the sheets for you
Put on cologne
