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
And while your touch would always please me
It was love that eased the pain --
Believin' that good times forever last
Now love is a thing of the past
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 --
And 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 stay -- I’m living 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
