Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine

in AlbumHot Fuss

We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same

We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain

She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go

She couldn't scream while I held her close

I swore I'd never let her go

Tell me what you wanna know

Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

There ain't no motive for this crime

Jenny was a friend of mine

So come on, oh come on, oh come on

I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time

For me to go, so let me know if it's alright

I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth

She couldn't scream while I held her close

I swore I'd never let her go

Tell me what you wanna know

Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

And then you whisper in my ear

I know what you're doing here

So come on, oh come on, oh come on

There ain't no motive for this crime

Jenny was a friend of mine

Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
