Oh! Jesse Lyrics by Dr. Hook

Pleasure & Pain: The History of Dr. Hook

0

[Verse 1]
Ohh Jesse, why have you come?
I thought you would be kind enough to let me cry alone
Just now as I've learned to live without your love
You walked back into my life again

[Chorus]
Ooh let it lie, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough? Is that why you came?
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain

[Verse 2]
I suppose you've come to play a game
Come to deal the cards in a game I cannot win
But no matter how they fall, the hearts are always in your hand
And I am forced to fold once again

[Chorus]
Ooh let it lie, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough? Is that why you came?
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain

[Chorus]
Ooh let it lie, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough? Is that why you came?
Ooh not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain
