Just a girl who can't say no   And her sweetheart on parole   Parents named her jupiter   To bless her with a lucky soul   He's a boy who never cried   When they locked him up inside   And she nicknamed him her teardrop   For the tattoo by his eye      Now she's sleeping in her bed   And he's sleeping in her bed   And it's jupiter and teardrop   And it's jupiter and teardrop      She divines by radio   Pushing buttons show to show   And she wonders 'bout the fate of   Lovers in the barrio   She forgets after a while   When she tunes in on the dial   Jackie wilson's lonely teardrops   And she drives another mile      Now she's sleeping in her bed   And he's sleeping in her bed   And it's jupiter and teardrop   And it's jupiter and teardrop   And it's jupiter and teardrop      And they want to have a child   Walk together down the aisle   But the world they live in is mean   And it's built on sheer denial   The phone rings it's for her   Got to see ya jupiter   I'm in trouble with the law   Bring my 38 caliber      Now she's sleeping in her bed   As she pulls the phone plug dead   And it's jupiter and teardrop   And it's jupiter and teardrop   And it's jupiter and teardrop oh   And it's jupiter and teardrop   And it's jupiter and tear oh   And it's jupiter and tear   Oh oh   Ooh ooh ooh
