Jena & Jimmy Songtext
von Derek Webb

Gina and Jimmy they met at a rally to
Bring our boys back from the war
Jimmy was dancing, he was dancing like crazy
Showing no mercy to the dance floor
Gina was minding, she was minding her business
She did not want no company
′Til Jimmy spotted her like a lamb to the slaughter
And he coaxed her over with a martini

And Jimmy said
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

She could feel it hitting her blood stream
Before she knew it, she was up on his chopping block
And he was flagging down a taxi
And Jimmy said
If you give me your love, I'll give you my love, I′ll give you my love
Gonna take one kiss to shut you up and that'll be enough
If you give me your love, I'll give you my love, I′ll give you my love
Gonna kiss your lips to shut you up


She told him stories of social injustices
And constitutional rights
He smirked and turned his head
Just lighten up, he said, baby, we got all night
Gina was beautiful and spoke convincingly
He listened just like a priest
His best shot at stopping her was if he co-opted her
So he got two more rounds of drinks

And Jimmy said
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Jimmy held her like an enemy
Then toasted global peace and dovetailing interests
As he threw his shot back with a wink
And Jimmy said

If you give me your love, I′ll give you my love, I'll give you my love
Gonna take one kiss to shut you up and that′ll be enough
If you give me your love, I'll give you my love, I′ll give you my love
Gonna kiss your lips to shut you up

If you give me your love, I'll give you my love, I′ll give you my love
Gonna take one kiss to shut you up and that'll be enough
If you give me your love, I'll give you my love, I′ll give you my love
Gonna kiss your lips to shut you up
