[Verse 1]
Just a girl who can't say no
And her sweetheart on parole
Parents named her Jupiter
To bless her with a lucky soul

[Verse 2]
He's a boy who never cried
When they locked him up inside
And she nicknamed him her teardrop
For the tattoo by his eye

[Bridge]
Now she's sleeping in her bed
And he's sleeping in her bed

[Chorus]
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop

[Verse 3]
She divines by radio
Pushing buttons show to show
And she wonders 'bout the fate of
Lovers in the barrio
[Verse 4]
She forgets after a while
When she tunes in on the dial
Jackie Wilson's Lonely Teardrops
And she drives another mile

[Bridge]
Now she's sleeping in her bed
And he's sleeping in her bed

[Chorus]
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop

[Verse 5]
And they want to have a child
Walk together down the aisle
But the world they live in is mean
And it's built on sheer denial

[Verse 6]
The phone rings it's for her
Gotta see ya Jupiter
I'm in trouble with the law
Bring my 38 caliber
[Bridge]
Now she's sleeping in her bed
As she pulls the phone plug dead, dead

[Chorus]
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop

[Chorus]
And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
Oh, and it's Jupiter and Teardrop

[Outro]
And it's Jupiter and Tear
Ugh
And it's Jupiter and Tear
Oh oh
Ju-huh
