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!
