You left your heartbeat, on my sweater

I should have known, I should have known better

My jeans and shirt, will always hurt, cuz they remember

I held you tight, all thru the night, in late November

You wanted more, you wanted someone better

You left your heartbeat, heartbeat on my sweater

 

There will be a time,

where even I, can live without you

but all my clothes, will always know

you’re just a girl, just a girl from Jersey

 

You tramp around, with all my friends, so I can see you

you hope to see, the hurt in me, cuz I want you

but not tonight, I’m holding tight, to my sweater

you’re not the only one, looking for better

so stay awhile, and show your smile, it won’t hurt me

cuz you’re just a girl, just a girl from Jersey

 

Don’t lie again, come to me, and beg for mercy,

We’ve been here before, you at my door

You’re just a girl, just a girl from Jersey

 

Don’t be angry

Don’t be sad

You’re still

The best girl

I ever had

You made the sunshine

For all to see

You were my girl, my girl from Jersey

 

There will be a time,

where even I, can live without you

but all my clothes, will always know

you’re just a girl, a girl from Jersey …

all my clothes, will always know

you’re just a girl, a girl from Jersey.
