If I had married JFK   I would have lost my mind   'Cause everybody seemed to know   How he spent his leisure time   Well I guess that things were different then   A wife just turned her head   But do you think she cried   When the president didn't make it home to bed   How did she survive   That kind of life      If I were Jackie   I'd got in one of those black sedans   And left the secret service in the dust   If I were Jackie   I'd of told Marylin - you can keep that man   'Cause he's gonna cheat on you like he cheated on us      She kept on facing forward and she held her head up high   Even when she smelled a strange perfume   She stood there by his side   She'd smile and she would wave   Like she had grown accustomed to   The picture of perfection like a debutante would do   Did she ever ask him   Where the hell have you been      If I were Jackie   I'd got in one of those black sedans   And left the secret service in the dust   If I were Jackie   I'd of told Marylin - you can keep that man   'Cause he's gonna cheat on you like he cheated on us      [spoken]   Well, I guess it's easy to sit here today and say what I would do   Yeah, but we'll probably never know   If it was her weakness or strength   That covered up the truth      If I were Jackie   I'd got in one of those black sedans   And left the secret service in the dust   If I were Jackie   I'd of told Marylin - you can keep that man   'Cause he's gonna cheat on you like he cheated on us      If I were Jackie   I'd got in one of those black seans   And left the secret service in the dust
