Waiting For Jeremy

Waiting For Jeremy Jeremy and Teresa have gone off to a private, dark corner. Jeremy likes his martini extra dry with a twist, never an olive, nor an onion. They'll slip away as soon as he finishes his drink. I suppose it builds nerves. Time is short, church lets out at nine. In the other corner of the bar sitting in the glow of candles is Magnolia Brown and her newest beau, Paul Center. She's a handful and he better mind his tracks. I've known Magnolia for years myself... So have a lot of men in town. Mind you, she's all woman. Paul? He's played the field. He only recently stopped going out with Debbie DuBopp. He's still married to Sue though. He just never admits it. Sue knows more than she lets on. She's heard talk. She's heard Debbie talk. The Burning Inside		Another long Wednesday evenin’ off to a slow start Tending Teresa serving up a lonely heart She sits alone sips as slow as she can There’s a diamond in her heart but no ring upon her hand She’s waiting for Jeremy Waiting for Jeremy Waiting for Jeremy Waiting for Jeremy He’s a married man with two kids and a wife Got a payment on two homes got a mortgage on his life They meet on Wednesday once the church bells sound No one will notice if Jeremy’s soul’s not around She’s waiting for Jeremy Waiting for Jeremy Waiting for Jeremy Waiting for Jeremy Jeremy comes in and puts her mind at ease Gentle with words he’s the man Teresa needs He’s here for a reason but he really can’t say why Three years of Wednesday nights but he still won’t leave his wife She’s praying for Jeremy Praying for Jeremy Praying for Jeremy Praying for Jeremy It’s a perfect evenin’ least ‘til the church burns down Won’t stop their love affair won’t stop their playing round Teresa knows it ain’t love but it’s something she needs She knows he’s taken comes with only one guarantee She’s waiting for Jeremy Waiting for Jeremy Waiting for Jeremy Waiting for Jeremy Lyrics Copyright 1998-2000 by W Paul Cary CARCEN Productions
