Oh! Jesse Lyrics - Dr. Hook

Oh, Jesse, why have you come? 

I thought you would be kind enough to let me cry alone 

Just now as I've learned to live without your love 

You walked back into my life again 

Let it die, oh, Jesse, please let it be 

Do not come and take my pride from me 

Have I not lost enough, is that why you came? 

Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain 

I suppose you've come to play a game 

Come to deal the cards in a game I cannot win 

But no matter how they fall, the hearts are always in your hand 

And I am forced to fold once again 

Let it die, oh, Jesse, please let it be 

Do not come and take my pride from me 

Have I not lost enough, is that why you came? 

Not again Jesse, I cannot bear the pain
