Jody girl, jody girl, spend your time today
watching clocks, spin the hours away
jody girl, you know the world is
going ‘round all day
thinking back to the things you used to say
Didn’t they put you on a pedestal
when first you met?
sure was some honeymoon
ain’t it hard to forget?
whatever happened to that crazy boy
with the love light in his eye?
used to bring you flowers every day
Now you sit here, on a cloudy afternoon
watching the soap opera on the tv
your old man’s working
and your kids are out playing
and you ain’t feeling too free
you keep thinking back,
thinking back to high school
those high school days
all the wild, wild, wild good times you had
all the boyfriends, boyfriends knocking at your door
Jody girl, jody girl, spend your time today
watching clocks spin the hours away
jody girl, you know the world is
goin’ by all day
thinking back
to before you promised to stay
didn’t they put you on a pedestal
when first you met?
sure was some honeymoon
Ain’t it hard to forget
