Robert Lee: Music

Jessica

(Robert Lee)

Early one morning I was playing my guitar
And it had been a long hard night
The air was getting thin and I was gonna pack it in but
Much to my delight
There came a little lady made me feel so crazy
And she winked as she passed me by
So I finished up the set though it wasn’t over yet
And I thought that I would give her a try.

She said I gotta warn ya that I’m from California
And I’m gonna go back there one day
I’m a mother and a wife but I gotta live my own life
And do things in my own way
I said I didn’t care and I had never been there
And my future was up for grabs
You know you just got to do whatever you got to do
So let’s go out and have us some laughs

Oh Jessica! Don’t be so afraid of love. You got to let your feeling go
And come close to me.
Oh Jessica! Try to understand enough and don’t be so demanding love
We all got to be free.

Well things were getting good just like I hoped they would
Though we hadn’t know each other too long
But maybe I’m a little lazy or maybe a little crazy
Cause I musta done something wrong
She said that she was leavin’ and she gave me no reason
She said she’d call me when she got things straight
It made me so sad and it hurt me so bad
And I just don’t know how long I can wait
I’m from a small town in Pennsylvania
And I never really did get around
But if she don’t show up in a week or two
You know that I’ll be California bound

Oh Jessica! Could you give me one more chance?
You’re holding me in such a trance I just can’t walk away.
Oh Jessica! Don’t you know you’re always free to be what you want to be
No one can take that away.
No one can take that away.
No one can take that away.
