the ballad denny and jean

Todd Rundgren

Jean did her best
Denny worked hard
And so together made him a star
And he loved her
Money changed hands
Denny must start
Tallying up things close to his heart
And he loved her so
But we don t always know what to say
When they ask you, what do you say?
No one can tell what s in a heart
People just drift apart
Jean lost her head
Denny got mad
How, Jean, he said, can things be so bad
Right before my eyes
Jean told a lie, Denny deceived
Jean packed her bags to leave
Jean, if you must go
Before you do
Tell me you know I did it for you
And I loved you so.
