Jackie
Joanne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up with your name on my lips,
I woke up with your lips on my imagination!

I woke up with my name on your lips,
I woke up with your lips on my imagination.
Did you wake up with my name on your lips,
Or am I all alone in this infatuation?
Uh-huh, oh yeah, hey, hey, hey!

Jackie when you're touching my soul in the candle light,
Jackie when I lost control in the heat of the night.
Jack, Jack, Jackie. Can't get you off my mind.

I woke up thinking it was you, that I was all alone, alone with you,
Did the same thing happen to you?
If you don't feel what I feel, I don't know what I'll do.
Uh-huh, oh yeah, hey, hey, hey!

Jackie when you're touching my soul in the candle light,
Jackie when I lost control in the heat of the night.
Jack, Jack, Jackie. Can't get you off my mind.

I didn't know that love could feel this way,
I never let anyone inside.
I pushed and I shoved, I fought back the love,
But with Jackie I've got nothing to hide.
Uh-huh, oh yeah, hey, hey, hey!

Jackie when you're touching my soul in the candle light,
Jackie when I lost control in the heat of the night.
Jack, Jack, Jackie. Can't get you off my mind.

Jackie when you're touching my soul in the candle light,




Jackie when I lost control in the heat of the night.
Jack, Jack, Jackie. Can't get you off my mind.
