Artist/Band: Bill Anderson
Lyrics for Song: Love Song for Jackie
Lyrics for Album: Scorpio [MCA] [1977]



(Bill Anderson)



He stopped at the bar on his way to the bandstand

To strenghten his courage and weaken his pride

On an old paper napkin he wrote me this message

When the snow's over Mister could I see you outside.



To look on his face said it's no laughing matter

I nodded and cautiously walked to the door

Clutching my sleeve he said Mister it's Jackie

She left me and said she won't be back no more.



Please sing a love song for Jackie

Sing it on record and on the TV

She's always said you were her favorite singer

And she listened to you 'fore she listened to me.



Please tell Jackie I love her

Tell her I'm dying without her, it's true

Please sing a love song for Jackie

So Jackie wherever you are and whatever you're doing right now

I want you to know this song's for you.



Jackie it's wrong don't you leave him

He can't live without you, any fool can see

This is my love song for Jackie

Don't hurt him Jackie

You don't know how much he loves you, go back to him

Just don't ever tell him that you left him, for me...
