Jackie's Strength

Jackie's Strength - Tori Amos

A Bouvier till her wedding day

Shots rang out the police came

Mama layed me on the front lawn

And prayed for Jackie's strength

Feeling old by 21

Never thought my day would come

My bridesmaids 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

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

I got lost on my wedding day

Typical the police came

But virgins always get backstage

No matter what they've got to 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 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
