Lyric Jesse

(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri)

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 please me

(chorus)
Jesse, I won t cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I won t make the wine cold for you
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

Chorus

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 heave again because you ve come back to me - Oh Jessie!

Jesse, I ll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I ll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I can easily change my mind about you
And put on cologne
And sit by the phone for you

Jesse, let s open the wine
And drink to the heart
Which has a will of it s own
My friends, let s comfort them
They re feeling bad
They think I ve sunk so low

Jesse, I ll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I ll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I will change the sheets for you
Put on cologne
And I will wait by the phone for you - Oh Jesse!
