Robin Zander - The Ballad of Jean and Me lyrics

Jean and me, were as close as could be But her folks didn't like me at all She wanted me so, but they couldn't know She couldn't even give me a call Well I tried, I tried, I tried so hard You'd better run, 'cause you're much too young To know if my love is real She takes me hand, whispers in my ear "Guess you don't know how I feel" Well, I tried, I tried, I tried so hard I tried, I tried, I tried so hard Now see, just let her go Your little girl, grew up such a short time ago See what you've done, 'cause now she's gone A wasted life on the run Then came the day, that fateful day A man walked through the wrong door Said "Son, you're never gonna see that girl Don't come 'round here no more" She gunned him down, with three mag-rounds And Oh My God, she was crazed I grabbed up Jean, gotta leave this town And now we've been driving for days Well, I tried, I tried, I tried so hard I tried, I tried, I tried so hard. Now see, just let her go Your little girl, grew up such a short time ago See what you've done, 'cause now she's gone A wasted life on the run
