Jackie Blue

(album: It'll Shine When It Shines - 1974)

Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of a room
Hides her smile when she's wearing a frown
Ooh, Jackie, you're not so down

You like your life in a freeform style
You'll take an inch but you'd love a mile
There never seems to be quite enough
Floating around to fill your loving cup

Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue
What's a game, girl, if you never lose?
Ask a winner, and you'll probably find
Ooh, Jackie, they've lost at some time

Don't try to tell me that you're not aware
Of what you're doing and that you don't care
You say it's easy, just a natural thing
Like playing music, but you never sing

Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue
Making wishes that never come true
Going places where you've never been
Ooh, Jackie, you're going again

Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue
Lives a dream that can never come true
Making love is like sifting through sand
Ooh, Jackie, it slips through your hand

Every day, in your indigo eyes
I watch the sunset but I don't see it rise
Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine
You'd take the world but you won't take the time

Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of a room
Makes you think that her life is a drag
Ooh Jackie, what fun you have had

Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Hey, hey, hey, hey
