Jukebox
Brian Orchestra Setzer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been up all night just singin'
This same old song,song,song
And I can't get it
Through my head
That man she's gone,gone,gone
I'm pushin' all the buttons
But one thing is for sure
Play my song no more

I've been lovin' that little gal
Now for so long,long,long
But that jukebox never said
She'd do me wrong,
Wrong,wrong
I dropped in all my money
Now it just don't seem right
That jukebox just won't play
My song tonight

Jukebox bring my baby
Back to me
Ain't had no real good lovin'
And I'm drownin' in misery
The records keep on playin'
But my poor heart
Won't stop sayin'
Jukebox bring my baby
Baby to me

Just look at all those
Pretty lights
A shine,shine,shine
Jukebox don't you know
That girl is mine,mine,mine
I polished all your chrome
I dusted off your glass
Oh jukebox bring my baby
Home at last

Jukebox bring my baby
Back to me
Ain't had no real lovin'
And I'm drownin' in misery
The records keep on playin'
But my poor heart
Won't stop sayin'




Jukebox bring my baby
Back to me
