Chely Wright If I Were Jackie (home Studio Demo) Lyrics

If I Were Jackie (home Studio Demo) Lyrics

If I had married JFK

I would have lost my mind

'Cause everybody seemed to know

How he pent 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 sudans

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 sudans

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.



(spoken)

Well i guess its easy to sit here today and say what I would do

Yeah, but we'll probably never know

If it was her weakness or or strength

That covered up the truth



If I were Jackie

I'd got in one of those black sudans

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 sudans

And left the secret service in the dust
