Jenny Wont Play Fair by The Semantics Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1996

[Verse 1]
Jenny's pretty nice to me, at least most of the time
Whenever we disagree, her temper starts to work overtime
Stickin' out her tongue at me and pullin' on my hair
She knows how to get to me she just doesn't know
She's supposed to fight fair with a friend
No matter how hard I pretend
She sends me runnin' back to mother again

[Chorus]
(J-J-J-J-J-J-J)
Jenny won't play fair, not with her toys
She just covers her ears and says
"Na na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na"
Jenny won't play fair, not with her toys, oh no no

[Post-Chorus]
J-J-J-Jenny won't, oh

[Verse 2]
Happy anniversary, now no more monkey shrines
Livin' in the nursery is driving me out of my mind
You've gotta have a lot of patience to stay serene
When you're coughin' and a-sputterin'
And a-coming apart at the seams
Like the words never come out like they should
And sometimes I swear her ears are made of wood
[Chorus]
(J-J-J-J-J-J-J)
Jenny won't play fair, not with her toys
She just covers her ears and says
"Na na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na"
Jenny won't play fair, not with her toys, oh no

[Bridge]
There's a hole in my heart I just can't seem to fix
And now I'm falling apart from her bag of tricks
One day I'll find the right words and I won't have to scream
And then she'll hear what I said, and she'll know what I mean

[Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
The whole alphabet couldn't spell a word for me
To describe this golden rule calamity

[Chorus]
(J-J-J-J-J-J-J)
Jenny won't play fair, not with her toys
She just covers her ears and says
"Na na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na"
Jenny won't play fair, not with her toys, oh no no
