Mama always told her jenny girl One day it'll be right There's a man around the corner Just waiting to hold you tight So she went to the local mixer She asked a boy to dance He turned around took a look her way And shook his head not a chance Jenny bought a book of stamps And she wrote a dozen letters She mailed them out To her best friends brothers Hopin that she might feel better She waited patiently For the postman to come by But the same thing always happened Her mailbox was always dry It ain't worth all the time that pa**es by It ain't worth all the tears That she's been made to cry
It ain't worth all the emptiness inside What's it all worth anyway Jenny drove a pickup truck To the public high school every morning And all cheerleaders laughed at her When they saw her clothes were torn The senior prom came and went Jenny and johnny walker spent a quiet Night at home with the silent phone CHORUS It makes you wonder when comes the Stolen night with all the words you long To hear Underneath a starry sky He whispers softly in your ear You're the only one Who makes this all seem clear Jenny never saw the day What's it all worth anyway CHORUS
