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
