Jennifer
Pete & The Pirates Lyrics

I suggest, forgetting what you see,
I recommend not believing everything you see in the media or on the streets.

In the streets, and in the magazines.
These are two examples of the types of media that can be misleading.

And can I suggest you turn and walk away?
Perhaps it's best to remove yourself from the situation entirely.

I can't see through that make-up on your face
It's hard to discern someone's true emotions when they're hiding behind makeup.

You drive my car, and you smoke my cigarette,
You're taking advantage of me and my possessions without any regard for my feelings.

If you're my friend, then you don't know it yet.
Despite our interactions, we haven't truly connected as friends yet.

And oh my god, you're turning into me,
You're exhibiting similar behaviors and attitudes to me, which is causing concern.

You need some help, Jenny don't you agree?
I think you would benefit from some outside assistance in order to break free of the cycle.

'Cause Jennifer, Jenny we wrote songs about you,
You've had a significant impact on our lives and have inspired us to write about you.

I can't remember if I enjoyed life without you,
Your presence has become so ingrained in our lives that it's hard to remember what things were like before you were around.

And Jenny come away with me…
Let's go and leave these troubles behind.

Well you can sing, and dance around all night,
You have a lot of energy and like to have fun.

Then brush your teeth, and smile and say goodbye.
You have a routine and are able to leave situations quickly and effectively.

And all my time, I've wasted all on you,
You've been consuming all of my time and attention recently.

Jenny slow down, and try to tell the truth.
Maybe if you took a step back and were more honest with yourself and others, we could work through our issues.

'Cause Jennifer, Jenny we wrote songs about you,
You continue to be a muse for our music, even if our relationship has become more complicated.

Oh Jenny, Jenny…
You're still the same person who has created such a deep impression on us.

Jennifer, Jenny now don't push your luck,
You're already doing things that are causing problems, so be careful not to make things worse.

You're headstrong, kissing my face for the punch,
You're acting tough and making aggressive actions without realizing how they will affect me.

And Jenny you're a wicked girl.
Your recent behavior has been hurtful and difficult to understand.

Oh Jenny, Jenny, don't turn into me
I don't want you to become someone that neither of us wants to be like.
