Jack was a nimble
Jack, he was quick
Jack jumped right over the candle stick

Now he's gone and I'm burning all alone
Yeah, he's gone and I'm burning still, oh no

A beautiful story left incomplete
Oh, how he knocked me off my feet

Sitting by my window pane
Thinking I might go insane
Why do you only shoot me halfway to the moon?

And I can't get over that, over that
Baby, after loving Jack
There's no going back, going back

Jack and Jill, they went up a hill
To fetch a pail of water, but there was a spill
And Jill came tumbling down, all alone
Yeah, all came tumbling down, oh no

Pulled to the ground by gravity
Will it remain a mystery

Sitting by my window pane
Thinking I might go insane
Why do you only shoot me half way to the moon?

And I can't get over that, over that
Baby, after loving Jack
There's no going back, going back

A beautiful story left incomplete
Oh, how he knocked me off my feet

Sitting by my window pane
Thinking I might go insane
Why do you only shoot me half way to the moon?

And I can't get over that, over that
Baby, after loving Jack
There's no going back, going back

Oh no, no, after loving Jack
There's no going back
