She calls me baby, then she won't call me
Says she adores me and then ignores me
Jenny, what's the problem?
She keeps her distance and sits on fences
Puts up resistance and builds defenses
Jenny, what's the problem?

You leave me hanging on the line
Every time you change your mind

First, you say you won't, then you say you will
You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on
I'm standing still, Jenny
You got me on my knees, Jenny
It's killing me

She needs her own space
She's playing mind games
Ends up at my place saying that she's changed
Jenny, what's the problem?

I'm trying to read between the lines
You got me going out of my mind

First, you say you won't, then you say you will
You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on
I'm standing still, Jenny
You got me on my knees
Jenny, it's killing me
It's killing me
It's killing me, Jenny

First, you say you won't, then you say you will
You keep me hanging on, and I'm not moving on
We're standing still, Jenny
You got me on my knees, Jenny
First, you say you won't, then you say you will
You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on
We're standing still, Jenny
You got me on my knees, Jenny
And it's killing me
It's killing me, Jenny
