Chely Wright - If I Were Jackie

Versuri Chely Wright - If I Were Jackie

 
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 
 
[spoken] 
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
