Just a girl who can`t say no
And her sweetheart on parole
Parents named her Jupiter
To bless 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 divines by radio
Pushing buttons show to show
And she wonders `bout the fate of
Lovers in the barrio
She forgets after a while
When she tunes in on the dial
Jackie Wilson`s Lonely Teardrops
And she drives another mileNow 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 38 caliber
Now she`s sleeping in her bed
As she pulls the phone plug 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 oh
Ooh ooh ooh
