Jackie
Perry Linda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jackie lives in a trailer park just outside of new york
You can catch her there anytime of the day
All the boys seem to know her well
She's got big brown eyes and ponytails
With a smile that will knock you out of the state
Sometimes when she's alone at night she likes to open all the blinds
Turn the music on and start to dance
One by one she takes off her clothes
And prances all around the floor
While all the boys are peeking over the fence, saying
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and dance with me, oh so
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and stay the night with me
When she's walking down the street
It's such a sight oh what a treat
As you watch her make 'n her way through the candy store
She'll come out sucking on a lollipop
Her juicy lips will make you drop
As you fall to your knees 'n beg for more, so
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and dance with me so
Sweet jackie please, won't you come and stay the night with me
All the other girls in town don't like it when she comes around
'cause they know that jackie will steal the show
When she walks into a room




The place lights up from her sweet perfume
Then she'll slowly take your breath right out the door

This woman could sing the phone book and make your tears flow. I still think she has one of the greatest voices in our time.

I first heard this song when I saw linda play a show in a small Maryland club around 1998.. I bought the CD and it's still one of my favorites. Every song is wonderful.
