Well
I met him at a club
And he was dancin' on his own
So I told him
Take my hand
Come on
Boy
Let's take you home
Oh
And he loved me till the mornin'
Then he asked me to be his bride
And as I looked into his eyes
How could I tell that boy goodbye?
But, oh
That was my first mistake
Oh
Poor Jake

Oh
And it wasn't even love
I was just caught up in a rush
And I liked to see him blush
When I would tell him he's the one
But I never meant for it to be this way
Oh
Poor Jake

Well
My lover got jealous
So I went and got high
And I went home
And I told him a lie
And we both cried
And he said
Oh
Baby
It's okay
You can have your little flings
Just don't ever run away
'Cause you're my husband and I'm your king
And he said
Baby
You're my soul mate
Oh
Poor Jake

Oh
And it wasn't even love
I was just caught up in a rush
And I liked to see him blush
When I would tell him he's the one
But I never meant for it to be this way
Oh
Poor Jake

Well
I had a breakdown
And I ran out of drugs
So I got real mad
And I beat him up
And I broke his nose
And he said
Baby
It's okay
I know it's not really you
I know you didn't mean it
No way
But it's somethin' that you had to do
And I said
Baby
I'm so ashamed
I don't wanna die in vain
I wanna be born again
I wanna be born again
I wanna be born again
I wanna be born again
I wanna be born again
I wanna be born again
Oh
Poor Jake

Oh
And it wasn't even love
I was just caught up in a rush
And I liked to see him blush
When I would tell him he's the one
But I never meant for it to be this way
Oh
Poor Jake
