Lyrics

Oh trouble becomes you, it cuts you down to my size

And you never were less than perfect in my eyes

But I lost my way somehow

For three hard winters I held it in, till now

Oh now I can't help it, oh Jennie my love

Oh Jennie my love

Now you pin up your hair like you did when first we met

How many days of his life can a man regret

And if my tears were a train

Then I'd cry all the way back into your arms again

Now I can't help it, oh Jennie my love

Oh Jennie my love

Now I count the times we spent and the times we missed

Now I stand here, love unsworn and lips unkissed

And oh how hard I tried

To kill the vision of you as another man's bride

Oh now I can't help it, oh Jennie my love

Oh Jennie my love

Oh Jennie my love

Oh Jennie my love

Oh Jennie my love
