Jeremiah

Oh, Jeremiah

Tell me, what have you done?

You took all the love she gave

You took it all, and away you run

You can't keep all your love bottled inside

So you give it away to women

Almost a different woman every single night

You think that you can hide from the mornin' light

You forgot about sweet Sue

And the promises you said you'd do

She's gonna put you back up on the shelf

She does better by herself

Oh, Jeremiah

Won't you place the ring upon your finger?

Don't you leave it at home again tonight

Or inside of the pocket of your blue jeans

Well, you swear, this time tomorrow

You will be a different man, you'll change for the better

I hope you keep to your promises

I hope you keep them, my sweet Jeremiah

'Cause you forgot about sweet Sue

And the promises you said you'd do

She's gonna put you back up on the shelf

For she does better by herself

Well, she will make sure to keep all the dust away from you

For you are like the wine, you will get sweeter with time
