Jenny
The Click 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Says she adores me and then ignores me
Jenny, what's the problem?
She keeps her distance and sits on fences
Puts up resistance and builds defenses
Jenny, what's the problem?
You leave me hanging on the line
First, you say you won't, then you say you will
You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on
I'm standing still, Jenny
You got me on my knees, Jenny
It's killing me
She needs her own space
She's playing mind games
Ends up at my place saying that she's changed
Jenny, what's the problem?
I'm trying to read between the lines
You got me going out of my mind
First, you say you won't, then you say you will
You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on
I'm standing still, Jenny
You got me on my knees
Jenny, it's killing me
It's killing me
It's killing me, Jenny
First, you say you won't, then you say you will
You keep me hanging on, and I'm not moving on
We're standing still, Jenny
You got me on my knees, Jenny
First, you say you won't, then you say you will
You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on
We're standing still, Jenny
You got me on my knees, Jenny
And it's killing me
It's killing me, Jenny
The song "Jenny" by The Click Five talks about a girl named Jenny who is leading the singer on and playing mind games with him. She calls him baby and tells him she adores him but then ignores him and keeps her distance. The singer's frustration is shown in the lyrics when he says "You got me going out of my mind," and "You got me on my knees, Jenny. It's killing me." The chorus repeats the pattern of Jenny constantly changing her mind and keeping the singer hanging on, leaving him feeling stuck and unable to move on.
Throughout the song, the singer is trying to decipher what the problem is with Jenny and why she's behaving the way she is. However, Jenny seems to be playing games with him, building defenses and putting up resistance, causing the singer to feel helpless and confused. The lyrics capture the feeling of being stuck in a toxic relationship where one person is leading the other on and neither person is able to move forward.
