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!
