Jupiter and Teardrop

Just a girl who can't say no

And her sweetheart on parole

Parents named her Jupiter

Blessed her with a lucky soul

He's a boy who never cried

When they locked him up inside

And she nicknamed him her teardrop

For the tattoo by his eye

Now she's sleeping in her bed

And he's sleeping in her bed

And it's Jupiter and Teardrop

And it's Jupiter and Teardrop

She divine by radio

Pushing buttons show to show

And she wonders 'bout the fate of

Lovers in the barrio

She forget after a while

When she tune in on the dial

Jackie Wilson's Lonely Teardrops

And she drive another mile

Now she's sleeping in her bed

And he's sleeping in her bed

And it's Jupiter and Teardrop

And it's Jupiter and Teardrop

And it's Jupiter and Teardrop

And they want to have a child

Walk together down the aisle

But the world they live in is mean

And it's built on sheer denial

The phone rings it's for her

"Got to see ya Jupiter

I'm in trouble with the law

Bring my thirty-eight caliber"

Now she's sleeping in her bed

As she pulls the phone plug dead dead

And it's Jupiter and Teardrop

And it's Jupiter and Teardrop

And it's Jupiter and Teardrop oh

And it's Jupiter and Teardrop

And it's Jupiter and Tear oh

And it's Jupiter and Tear

Oh

Ooh
