What Makes Jenny Run?
LapTop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What makes Jenny run?
What makes her have to be so cruel?
What makes Jenny run?
What made her trample over you?

What makes people need to have to become famous?
What makes people have to act so fucking shameless?
What makes Jenny run?
What makes Jenny run?
What makes Jenny run?

Giddy-up

Is she insecure or revengeful?
What makes her chase the rabbit?
Access Hollywood for their approval
And still say she's independent

What makes people end acting so deceitful?
What makes people wind up becoming so evil?

What makes Jenny run?
What makes Jenny run?
What makes Jenny run?

Here we have one of those dog race announcers
Doin' that thing they do
Here comes dog number, up by a nose, headed for finish the line
You know all that jazz, right?

Round and round and round she goes
Where she stops, no one knows
Round and round and round she goes
Where she stops, no one knows
Round and round and round she knows
How to cut down her foes
No one knows, especially me

What makes Jenny run?
I want to know what
What makes Jenny run?
I want to know what
What makes Jenny run?
I want to know what
What makes Jenny run?





You thought the joke was on me, didn't you?
