Leave the Bourbon on the shelf

Shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go

Got a new place and how it's so much better.

Falling over myself, the televisions on,

I turn it off and smile.

Oh, Jennifer, you know I always tried.

Before you say goodbye

Leave the bourbon on the shelf.

And I'll drink it by myself.

And I love you endlessly, darling don't you see

I'm not satisfied until I hold you tight.

Give me one more chance tonight

And I swear I'll make it right.

But you ain't got time for this

And that wreckin' bell is ringin'

And I'm not satisfied until I hold you

Jennifer, tell me where I stand

And who's that other boy holdin' your hand?

Oh, Jennifer, you know I've always tried.

Before you say goodbye

Leave the bourbon on the shelf.

And I'll drink it by myself.

And I never liked your hair

Or those people that you lie with

And I'm not satisfied until I hold you tight

And I love you endlessly, darling don't you see

I can't be satisfied until I hold you tight.

Leave the bourbon on the shelf.

And I'll drink it by myself.

And I love you endlessly,

Darling don't you see I'm not satisfied
