And her sweetheart on parole
 Her parents named her Jupiter
 To bless her with a lucky soul
 He's the boy who never cried
 When they locked him up inside
 And she nicknamed him her teardrop
 For the tattoo by his eye
 Now she's sleeping in her bed
 And he's sleeping in her bed
 And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
 And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
 She divines by radio
 Pushing buttons show to show
 And she wonders about the fate of
 Lovers in the barrio
 She forgets after a while
 When she tunes in on the dial
 Jackie Wilson's Lonely Teardrops
 And she drives another mile
 Now she's sleeping in her bed
 And he's sleeping in her bed
 And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
 And they want to have a child
 Walk together down the aisle
 But the world we live in is mean
 And it's built on sheer denial
 The 'phone rings, it's for her
 "I got to see ya Jupiter"
 "I'm in trouble with the law"
 "Bring my .38 caliber"
 Now she's sleeping in her bed
 As she pulls the 'phone plug dead
 And it's Jupiter and Teardrop
