JESSE
(Carly Simon / Mike Mainieri)
Carly Simon - 1981


Oh Mama say a prayer for me
Jessie'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 seize me

Jessie, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
No Jessie, and I won't make the wine cold for you
No Jessie, 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

Jessie, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
No Jessie, I won't make the wine cold for you
No Jessie, I won't change the sheets for you
I won't put on cologne, I won't sit by the phone for you
No, no, no

Jessie, quick come here, I won't tell a soul
(Not even myself)
Jessie, that you've come back to me, my friends will all say
(She's gone again)
How can anyone know what you are to me
That I'm in heaven again
Because you've come back to me
Ooooh, Jessie

Jessie, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
And Jessie, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Oh Jessie, I can easily change my mind about you
And put on cologne and sit by the phone for you
Oh yeah

Jessie, lets open the wine
And drink to the heart
Which has a will of it's own
My friends (My friends)
It's tough for them
They're feeling bad
They think I've sunk so low

Jessie, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
And Jessie, I will make the wine cold for you 
Oh Jessie, I will change the sheets for you
And put on cologne and I will wait by the phone for you

Oh, Jessie
(La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la)
Oh Jessie
(La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la)

Jessie, I will cut fresh flowers for you 
And Jessie, yeah, make the wine cold for you
Oh Jessie, and I will change the sheets for you
