If I had married JFK I would have lost my mind 'Cause everybody seemed to know How he spent his leisure time Well I guess that things were different then A wife just turned her head But do you think she cried When the president didn't make it home to bed How did she survive That kind of life
If I were Jackie I'd got in one of those black sedans And left the secret service in the dust If I were Jackie I'd of told Marylin - you can keep that man 'Cause he's gonna cheat on you like he cheated on us
She kept on facing forward and she held her head up high Even when she smelled a strange perfume She stood there by his side She'd smile and she would wave Like she had grown accustomed to The picture of perfection like a debutante would do Did she ever ask him Where the hell have you been
If I were Jackie I'd got in one of those black sedans And left the secret service in the dust If I were Jackie I'd of told Marylin - you can keep that man 'Cause he's gonna cheat on you like he cheated on us
Well, I guess it's easy to sit here today and say what I would do Yeah, but we'll probably never know If it was her weakness or strength That covered up the truth
If I were Jackie I'd got in one of those black sedans And left the secret service in the dust If I were Jackie I'd of told Marylin - you can keep that man 'Cause he's gonna cheat on you like he cheated on us
If I were Jackie I'd got in one of those black seans And left the secret service in the dust
