Jackie's Strength Tori Amos

A Jackie, a-Jackie, a-Jackie, hey
A Jackie, a-Jackie, hey

A Bouvier till her wedding day
Shots rang out the police came
Mama laid me on the front lawn
And prayed for Jackie's strength

Feeling old by twenty-one
Never thought my day would come
My bridesmaid's getting laid
I pray for Jackie's strength

Make me laugh, say you know what you want
You said we were the real thing
So I show you some more and I learn
What black magic can do

Make me laugh, say you know you can turn
Me into the real thing
So I show you some more and I learn

Stickers licked on lunch boxes
Worshipping David Cassidy
Yeah I mooned him once on Donna's box
She's still in recovery

Sleepovers, Beene's got some pot
You're only popular with anorexia
So I turn myself inside out
In hope someone will see, will see

Make me laugh, say you know what you want
You said we were the real thing
So I show you some more and I learn
What black magic can do

Make me laugh, say you know you can turn
Me into the real thing
So I show you some more and I learn

A Jackie, a-Jackie, a-Jackie's strength
A Jackie, a-Jackie, hey

I got lost on my wedding day
Typical, the police came, oh
But virgins always get backstage
No matter what they've got so say

If you love enough you'll lie a lot
Guess they did in Camelot
Mama's waiting on my front lawn
I pray, I pray
I said I pray for Jackie's strength, strength

Make me laugh, say you know what you want
You said we were the real thing
So I show you some more and I learn

A Jackie, a-Jackie, a-Jackie's strength
A Jackie, a-Jackie, hey
