Jena & Jimmy

Jena & Jimmy - Derek Webb/Joshua moore

Jena and jimmy they met at a party

To bring our boys back from the war

Jimmy was dancing

He was dancing like crazy

Showing no mercy to the dance floor

Jena was minding

She was minding her business

She did not want no company

Till jimmy spotted her

Like a lamb to the slaughter

And he coaxed her

Over with a martini

And jena said 'ooh'

She could feel it

Hitting her bloodstream

Before she knew it she was

Up on his chopping block

And he was flagging down a taxi

If you give me your love

I'll give you my love

Give you my love

Gonna take one kiss

To shut you up

And that'll be enough

If you give me your love

I'll give you my love

Give you my love

Gonna kiss your lips

To shut you up

She told him stories of

Social injustices and constitutional rights

He smirked and turned his head

'Just lighten up' he said

'Baby we got all night'

Jena was beautiful

And spoke convincingly

He listened just like a priest

His best shot at stopping her

Was if he co-opted her

So he got two more rounds of drinks

And jena said 'ooh'

Jimmy held her like an enemy

Then toasted global peace

And dovetailing interests

As he threw his shot back with a wink

If you give me your love

I'll give you my love

Give you my love

Gonna take one kiss

To shut you up

And that'll be enough

If you give me your love

I'll give you my love

Give you my love

Gonna kiss your lips

To shut you up

If you give me your love

I'll give you my love

Give you my love

Gonna take one kiss

To shut you up

And that'll be enough

If you give me your love

I'll give you my love

Give you my love

Gonna kiss your lips

To shut you up
