Intro

   
   

Verse 1

We've talked it to death, cryin' on the telephone
Nights when he drinks at home
she has to whisper through her tears  

Verse 2

Johnny, she says, "you'd never do these things to me"
But I can never make her see
he's wasted such precious year - ears

Chorus

Well, "you married the wrong guy" is all I ever say
He's a no good so and so, but she'll never let him go
Though she knows it will never work, she loves the jerk
She loves the jerk  

Verse 3

He was the guy always out on the make
I guess he had what it takes to turn the heads of pretty girls  
She thought he would change, the worst of us will settle down
But he couldn't stay out of town, not even with this precious pear - earl

Chorus

Now she lives with the lies and the bumps and the bruises
He's a no good so and so, but she'll never let him go
Though she knows it will never work, she loves the jerk 
She loves the jerk   

Bridge

Well, I hang up the phone and I pretend she's in my arms
What I wouldn't give for just one-tenth of what she gives Mister Charming 
[Chorus] (Key Change, G to A)
He's a no good so and so, but she'll never let him go
Though she knows it will never work, she loves the jerk 
N.C. A D
She loves the jerk

Outro

He's never gonna change (she loves the jerk)
Hey, ain't love strange
She'll never let him go (she loves the jerk)
I know, I know, I know
She's never gonna see (she loves the jerk)
She'd be better off with me
He's never gonna change (she loves the jerk)
Oh, no oh oh oh no
(Repeat and fade)
