Oh! Jesse Lyrics

(S. Weedman)

Oh Jesse, why have you come
I thought you would be kind enough to let me cry alone
Just now as I've learned to live without your love
You walked back into my life again

Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain


I suppose you've come to play a game
Come to deal the cards in a game I cannot win
But no matter how they fall the hearts are always in your hand
And I am forced to fold once again

Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain


Oh let it die, oh Jesse, please let it be
Do not come and take my pride from me
Have I not lost enough, is that why you came
Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain

Dr. Hook (& The Medicine Show) were formed in Union City, New Jersey, USA in 1968. The original lineup consisted of Ray Sawyer, Dennis Locorierre, Bill Francis, John David and George Cummings - although there were countless lineup changes over the years.

Two years after Sawyer left in 1983 the band split up. Since then Sawyer has begun touring as "Dr Hook featuring Ray Sawyer" and Locorierre has also promoted himself as "The voice of Dr Hook".

Trivia: In a live webcast performance from Atlanta Bon Jovi performed "Sylvia's Mother" by Dr Hook - declaring the song "One we should have written". Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
