Jennifer
D. E. N Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

White chalk written on red brick
Our love told in a heart
It's there drawn in the playground
Love, kiss, hate or adore

I love Jennifer Eccles and I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles and I know that she loves me
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la

I used to carry her satchels
She used to walk by my side
But when we got to her doorstep
Her Dad wouldn't let me inside

One Monday morning, found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking that maybe she'd done the same
I hope Jennifer Eccles is going to follow me there
Our love is bound to continue
Love, kiss, hate or adore





I love Jennifer Eccles, I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles and I know that she loves me

For myself and everyone else who wants to sing along...

[Verse 1]
Listen, we don't need to be enemies
Ain't got tunnel vision
Vision of us in the future with a
White picket fence and eternal decisions
I almost did it, glad that I didn't
Space kicks and a big Mac
Got my space kiss but I'm sure that
All my friends fake, cause they told me that
Shit wasn't real, it was all in my head
I imagine that, false sparks
Said the man and I'm standing outside of a Wal-Mart
Now sitting here wondering when did this all start

[Chorus]
Fuck you and Jennifer, I know that you're out with her
Go pretend that you're just friends
I'll pretend that I'm not hurt
I know all the shit I heard, you can take these bitter words
Fuck you and Jennifer
Go fucking make love to her
Fuck you and Jennifer, I know that you're out with her
Go pretend that you're just friends
I'll pretend that I'm not hurt
I know all the shit I heard, you can take these bitter words
Fuck you and Jennifer
Go fucking make love to her
[Verse 2]
I'd rather be the girl that got away
Than be under your thumb
Don't need to spend all my time on you, not like I was in love
Not that I'm having a nervous breakdown
I'm just let down, down, down
You don't know what that's like though
To wait up, wait up all night though
To sleep, sleep with one eye closed
I'm blessed yo, I'm blessed yo
Lord had some mercy on me, looks out for nobody
Spared me a treason for some unexplained reason, yeah
So I thank you for teaching me how I can live without you
Never needin' me, I don't need you

[Chorus]
Fuck you and Jennifer, I know that you're out with her
Go pretend that you're just friends
I'll pretend that I'm not hurt
I know all the shit I heard, you can take these bitter words
Fuck you and Jennifer
Go fucking make love to her
Fuck you and Jennifer, I know that you're out with her
Go pretend that you're just friends
Thrusting in and out of her
I can see her close her eyes
While you kiss her soft and nice
Fuck you and Jennifer
Go fucking make love to her

So y'all not gonna talk about how this song is painful. No one deserves to be in a position like that even if they are getting cheated or they are left in a position if utter distress of not being able to trust their significant other.

@elsiehastings3400

it fucking hurts

@aahid1161

just got out of that bs

@gargiroy5579

The most terrifying part is you become so lonely all of a sudden . But you have to go on w your life, show up at work, meet deadlines, wash that last dish on the sink, plan your laundry ; but you are so fucking dead inside.
