lyrics

Oh Jackie was so bright
She could light the darkest night
When she fell from her family tree
And I was the man
Who was Jackie’s biggest fan
But my song was in a minor key

How I loved that girl
From the very start
But she never loved me
And so I wander round
I’m the man who’s trying to cure his broken heart

I tried my best to be
Every guy that she might see
But I guess I lost myself somehow
And so Jackie fell in love
With none of the above
‘Cos she couldn’t tell who I was now

How I loved that girl
From the very start
But she never loved me
And so I wander round
I’m the man who’s trying to cure his broken heart

Somewhere
There's a girl for me
Til I find her
I’ll dream of Jackie
And I’ll never break free

Jackie met a guy
With a twinkle in his eye
But he had a second family tree
And I'm waiting for
What love might have in store
For a brokenhearted man like me

How I loved that girl
From the very start
But she never loved me
And so I wander round
I’m the man who’s trying to cure his broken heart
