Jackie
Ellie Campbell Lyrics

Got a call the other day
Received a phone call recently

And it took me by surprise
The call was unexpected

Didn't quite know what to say
Was uncertain on how to respond

But he kept me on the line
The person on the other end of the call continued talking and wouldn't hang up

Say he drove by the house and he found nobody home
Stated he had gone to the house but no one was there

Then he had the nerve to ask
After showing up uninvited and finding no one home, he had the audacity to inquire further

What I was doing later on
He asked about future plans for the day

Jackie,Jackie he's no good
Referring to someone named Jackie's significant other as unsuitable

And he doesn't treat you like he should
The person is not treating Jackie with the respect and care she deserves

When he says his love is true
The significant other claims to love Jackie sincerely

Don't you believe
A plea to not trust the significant other's words

Jackie,Jackie I'm your friend
Assuring Jackie of being a supportive friend

It's only gonna hurt you in the end
Predicting negative consequences if Jackie continues her relationship with the unsuitable significant other

And I know cause he's been coming on to me
Confirming that the significant other has attempted to start a romantic relationship with the singer

At the party Friday night
Referencing an event attended the past Friday

You were in the other room
Jackie was in a separate area from the singer and significant other

And he came up from behind
The significant other approached the singer in a sneaky manner

And it just wasn't cool
It made the singer uncomfortable and was inappropriate behavior by the significant other

Then he try to take my hand
The significant other attempted to grab the singer's hand

And I told him that's no way
The singer refused the advance and pushed back against the significant other's behavior

Jackie's my best friend
Reaffirming the close friendship between the singer and Jackie

And I have not feel the same
Clarifying that the singer does not reciprocate any romantic feelings for the significant other

I think it's time you know what's going on
Encouraging Jackie to become aware of the significant other's inappropriate actions

I think it's time you know he's not the one
Urging Jackie to recognize that the significant other is not a good partner for her

I think it's time you understand
An appeal for Jackie to comprehend the situation and its consequences

Things are getting out of hand
The situation is escalating and needs to be addressed

Oh yeah yeah
An exclamation of urgency and importance

Jackie,Jackie he's no good(no good) and he doesn't treat you like he should
Reiterating the unsuitability of Jackie's significant other

When he says his love is true
The significant other professes their love for Jackie as genuine

Don't you believe
A plea to not be taken in by the significant other's words

It's only gonna hurt you in the end
Warning of negative consequences from staying with the significant other

And I know cause he's been coming on to me
Confirming again that the significant other has made advances toward the singer
