Lyrics for Song: Jenny Jenny
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Joe Jackson
Every time I think of you
Yeah, even this much later
I wish there was something I could do
But I guess you're still the same
You do almost anything but stop the fight
Never surrender, you just tough it out all night
And I think of the little things we used to do
And I think of the way that he's been treating you
And I'll ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?
How can you stand for what you put yourself through?
And I think of the little things we used to do
And I think of the way that he's been treating you
And I'll ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?
With your picture in my hand
I don't even know what I'm feeling
I'll stop trying to understand
I just wish I could reach out to you
Reach out so far across the sea
And sometimes as the baby sleeps I know you think of me
And you think of the little things we used to do
And you can't understand the way he's treating you
So I'll ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?
How can you stand for what you put yourself through?
When I think of the way we always used to be
And you know that he'll never love you more than me
So I'll ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?

Jenny Jenny
Joe Jackson's "Jenny Jenny" stands as a defining track from his early solo career, released in 1981. The song captures the raw energy and youthful exuberance of his debut period, blending pop sensibilities with a distinct rock edge that characterized his work before his fame as The Jacksons. As one of his first major solo singles, it helped establish his identity as a versatile artist capable of stepping away from the shadow of his family name. The recording reflects the transitional era of early 1980s music, where pop and rock boundaries were increasingly fluid. Its enduring appeal lies in its catchy melody and Jackson's charismatic vocal delivery, which showcased his ability to craft anthems that resonated with a generation. The track remains a significant song in his discography, representing the creative independence he pursued immediately after his group's hiatus. |
