Robin Zander The Ballad Of Jean & 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
