Jackie Don't Go

(album: Caught In The Game - 1983)

Jackie was the focus of my fantasies
There was passion in the schoolyard
Upon the autumn leaves
Cutting class was getting easy,
Throwing good sense down the drain,
And while your touch would always please me,
It was love that eased the pain
Believing that good times 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

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
Believing 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 living each day
In the streets of the city calling 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 leaving,
I couldn't see beyond yesterday
