Artist/Band: The Killers
Lyrics for Song: Jenny Was a Friend of Mine
Lyrics for Album: Live From The Royal Albert Hall [2009]



We took a walk that night but it wasn't the same

We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain

She said she loved me but she had somewhere to go

She couldn't scream why I held her close

I swore I'd never let her go



Tell me what you wanna know

Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

There aint no motive for this crime

Jenny was a friend of mine

So come on, oh come on, oh come on

Oh oh oh



I know my rights I've been here all day and it's time

For me to go so let me know if it's alright

I just can't take this

I swear I told you the truth

She couldn't scream while I held her close

I swore I never let her go



Tell me what you wanna know

oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

Then you whisper in my ear

I know what your doing here

So come on, oh come on, oh come on

There ain't no motive for this crime

Jenny was a friend of mine

Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

Oh oh oh
