JENNIFER FALLS
 
She fell in love with Dave
When she was just eighteen
Dave had Motorbikes
He kept a clean machine
And she held on
But when she called he could not hear her
Jennifer falls in love with men
Every time Jennifer’s in love
She falls again
And again
And
 
She fell in love with Steve
When she was twenty one
Steve had birds of prey
They made him feel strong
She should have flown
But would return for scraps he threw her
 
Jennifer falls in love with men
Jennifer falls in love with men
Everytime Jennifer’s in love, she falls again
 
She fell in love with Carl
When she was thirty two
Karl did DIY
Stripped out the old, put in the new
He hit her once
And put their love beyond repairing
 
Jennifer falls in love with men
Jennifer falls in love with men
Everytime Jennifer’s in love, she falls again
 
And all her friends see it coming
They hear the same song
None of them speak in case this time they’re wrong
 
She fell in love with Al
When she was thirty five
Alistair taught maths
He’d had two other wives
And Jennifer
Too late learned how to read statistics
 
Jennifer falls in love with men
Jennifer falls in love with men
Wondering if it’s her or them
Everytime Jennifer’s in love, she falls again
