Jacquelyn in the Background
Linger through the night
I look so long, I can't find
Another friend like you
You and I
If you just can't form the words to tell
Let me say that I know you well
Deep inside your lonely room
I try to tell you, but never get too far
Oh, dear Jacquelyn, I see you coming through
See the changes in your smile
In the background, you're changing colors now
Leave your bad news for a while
Drifting through the day
I look so long, I can't say
I've found another friend like you
You and I
If you just can't find the words to tell
Let me say that I know you well
Deep inside my lonely room
I'll cry the tears of never knowing you
Oh, dear Jacquelyn, I see you coming through
See the changes in your smile
In the background, you're coming in colors now
Leave your bad news for a while
If you just can't form the words to say
I never thought of it that way
But I can't see nobody, I can't tell
I can't see nobody
