Jeanette

Jeanette, Jeanette

Her mind's not made up yet

'Cause she's just an observer, a victim of her regret

Jeanette, Jeanette

Stares into the TV set

Not a thing ever changes, a challenge she hasn't met

Why ever choose a direction?

It's so much easier to never make a choice

So she floats on like a leaf

And the wind just blows her 'round

And she wants to shout out

But she never makes a sound

Jeanette, Jeanette

Jeanette, Jeanette

Jeanette, Jeanette

Keeps replaying the vignette

Life is a gamble, and she made a lousy bet

Jeanette, Jeanette

Is forever in his debt

Now she's playing a solo instead of a sad duet

He said, "Let's move to the country"

She held his sweater as she watched him drive away

Then she walked back to her room

And she let go of her man

And her troubles all ended as soon as they all began

Jeanette, Jeanette

Jeanette

I like things just the way they are

Why rearrange them?

I just don't have the will

I'm paralyzed by options, hopes, and expectations

So I'll only stand still

So she floats on like a leaf

And the wind just blows her 'round

And she wants to shout out

But she never makes a sound

Yes, she wants to cry out

But she never makes a sound
