The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shakin' like the devil when she lets me go
Got a new place and how it's so much better
Falling over myself, the televisions on
I turn it off and smile
Oh, Jennifer, you know I've always tried
Before you say goodbye
Leave the Bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I love you endlessly
Darling don't you see?
I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you tight
Give me one more chance tonight
And I swear I'll make it right.
But you ain't got time for this
And that wreckin' bell is ringin'
And I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you
Jennifer, tell me where I stand
And who's that other boy holdin' your hand?
Oh, jennifer, you know I've always tried.
Before you say goodbye
Leave the Bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I never liked your hair
Or those people that you lie with
And I'm not satisfied
Until I hold you tight
And I love you endlessly
Darling don't you see?
I can't be satisfied
Until I hold you tight
Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I love you endlessly
Darling don't you see?
I'm not satisfied
