lyrics

YOU DON’T KNOW JACK (Intended for a female vocalist)

1. No I didn’t fall from heaven/So of course it didn’t hurt
Does y’ girlfriend know you’re chasing tail?/Does your wife know that you flirt?
(And) if you think some eighties chat-up line/Will get me in the sack
Then I’m sorry to inform you Jim…..You don’t know Jack

2. Jeez, you made that clumsy pass at me/While your lover looked away
And you thought that I’d be flattered/As you faked another play
Well if you think you can impress me/Like some college quarterback
Then your pass was intercepted Josh…..And you don’t know Jack

INST BREAK 1

3. So we’re in some fancy restaurant/And you’re trying to impress
But you run from full commitment/And you treat me second best
Well you can get your supper some-place else/I’m no finger-buffet snack
Then I’ll make you eat your words Joe….Because you don’t know Jack

4. Ok YOU wear the trousers!!/Does that make you big n strong?
Hell I’ve slapped down tougher boys than U/When they tried to treat me wrong
And if you think you got the upper hand/That you’ll put me ‘cross your lap
You’re gonna find, your ass is mine, Junior...You don’t know Jack

5. See Jack’s the other half of me/If I’m Yin then he is Yang
Sometimes a backseat driver /And sometimes a boomerang
He’s a loop the loop, a circus hoop/ He’s always doubling back
And if you think you shook him off this time, Jamie...You don’t know Jack

INST BREAK 2

5. You’re trying hard to work me out/Ain’t even getting warm
This doppelganger’s been here since the day that I was born
You shoulda stayed in college/Look, I’m cutting you some slack
But if you don’t learn fast what’s good for you, Johnny…..then you don’t know Jack

6. Because Jack’s my alter-ego/This hidden Mister Hyde
My bogus bigger brother/That I mostly lock inside
But if any guy’s mistreating me/And he needs some paying back
Unlock that box, and up he pops….
Then you’ll all know Jack
