lyrics

VERSE
I had best intentions...And one hell of an ambition...and where it get me
I tried so damn hard...I tried so damn hard...and where did it get me

I know I'm a bitter soul...But that was not my goal...The only thing I wanted was a chance with you
But you were so naive...In all that you believe...
You had certain things figured out about every guy before you met me and

CHORUS:
You wouldn't know the perfect thing
If it bit you in the ass...But guess what?
Just because you're Jill doesn't make me Jack

VERSE:
You spread your arms wide and hug me like you do...Your body is this perfect shape...I wish was more like you
All that beauty gone to waste...on the nicest girl to have so much self-hate...
And I've had dreams where all I did was kiss your skin

So I'd like you to sleep tight...And get some rest tonight...Though you tell me that's a day that will never come
I'm not saying it will...But what can I say, Jill?...I'd like to write a lullaby to make your nightmares go away and

CHORUS
You wouldn't know the perfect thing
If it bit you in the ass...But guess what?
Just because you're Jill doesn't make me Jack
I'd do almost anything
But I won't bite you in the ass...So move on
The only thing you get is this stupid song

VERSE
How I tried...to write a dear sweet lullaby
To try to put this all to rest
Though denied...another crisp, autumn romance
I'll try to put this all to rest
