Over deze songtekst:
Het lied geeft verwijzingen naar Jackie Onassis, die eerder met John F. Kennedy, de vroegere Amerikaanse president, was getrouwd. John F. Kennedy werd op 22 november 1963 in Dallas doodgeschoten. Jackie trouwde 20 oktober 1968 met Aristotle Onassis, een zeer rijke Griekse scheepsmagaat.
Jackie overleed in 1994.
Tori heeft herhaaldelijk gezegd dat dit lied ook over haar eigen twijfels gaat wat het huwelijk betreft.
And Jackie and Jackie And Jackie's strength And Jackie and Jackie, hey A bouvier 'til her wedding day Shots rang out, the police came Mama layed me on the front lawn And prayed for Jackie's strength Feeling old by 21 Never thought my day would come My bridesmaids getting laid I pray for Jackie's strength Make me laugh Say you know what you want You said we were the real thing So I show you some more and I learn what black magic can do Make me laugh Say you know you can turn Me into the real thing So I show you some more and I learn Stickers licked on lunch boxes Worshipping David Cassidy Yeah, I mooned him once on Donna's box She's still in recovery Sleep-overs Beene's got some pot You're only popular with anorexia So I turn myself inside out In hope someone will see Make me laugh Say you know what you want You said we were the real thing So I show you some more and I learn what black magic can do Make me laugh Say you know you can turn Me into the real thing So I show you some more and I learn And Jackie and Jackie And Jackie's strength And Jackie and Jackie, hey I got lost on my wedding day Typical the police came Oh, but virgins always get backstage No matter what they've got to say If you love enough you'll lie a lot Guess they did in Camelot Mama's waiting on my front lawn I pray, I pray for Jackie's strength Make me laugh Say you know what you want You said we were the real thing So I show you some more and I learn And Jackie and Jackie And Jackie's strength And Jackie and Jackie, hey
