Dead Lovers

Lyrics

Poor little Jenny She'd been crying all night She didn't know what was wrong She didn't know what was right Her papa told her not to see him again "You're not to see him again" "You're not to see him tonight" She ran to Tony crying, "What can I do? Baby, what can I do? Oh, Tony, what can I do?" He turned to her and said: "Just love me tonight Oh, baby, love me tonight You got to love me tonight" They set out for the road and started hitching a ride Found a cheap motel and booked a room for the night She said, "Hold me close Hold me tight I feel so frightened 'cause tonight is the night" (Dead lovers) Jenny looked at Tony and she started to weep So he wrapped his arms around her Then they put themselves to sleep (Dead lovers) Maybe dead lovers But that's better than no love at all Right from the start This thing could only be wrong It could only be wrong It could only be wrong Her papa told her, he got straight to the point This thing just couldn't go on It just couldn't go on "The boy ain't right I say he's no good for you Baby, no good for you Say he's no good for you" They had no option Tell me, what could they do? Tell me, what could they do? Tell me, what could they do? They set out for the road and started hitching a ride Found a cheap motel and booked a room for the night (Dead lovers) She said, "Hold me close Hold me tight I feel so frightened 'cause tonight is the night" (Dead lovers) Jenny looked at Tony and she started to weep So he wrapped his arms around her Then they put themselves to sleep (Dead lovers) Maybe dead lovers But that's better than no love at all "You'll get this letter, Papa Though I'll be gone Papa, though I'll be gone Even though I'll be gone Please understand me that I'm loving you still Even though you were wrong Even though you were wrong" "Hope you'll forgive me Hope that you'll understand I hope that you'll understand I hope that you'll understand These hungry hearts were dead They couldn't go on They just couldn't go on They just couldn't go on" "We'll set out for the road and we'll start hitching a ride Find a cheap motel and book a room for the night (Dead lovers) He'll hold me close He'll hold me tight Maybe we're frightened 'cause tonight is the night (Dead lovers) I'll look at Tony and then maybe I'll weep But he'll wrap his arms around me Then we'll put ourselves to sleep (Dead lovers) Maybe dead lovers But that's better than no love at all" "We'll set out for the road and we'll start hitching a ride Find a cheap motel and book a room for the night (Dead lovers) He'll hold me close He'll hold me tight Maybe we're frightened 'cause tonight is the night (Dead lovers) I'll look at Tony and then maybe I'll weep But he'll wrap his arms around me And we'll put ourselves to sleep" (Dead lovers) Maybe dead lovers But that's better than no love (Dead lovers) Maybe dead lovers But that's better than no love (Dead lovers) Maybe dead lovers But that's better than no love at all
