Jeremiah

Oh, Jeremiah
Tell me, what have you done?
You took all the love she gave
You took it all and away you run
You can't keep all your love bottled inside
So you give it away to women
Almost a different woman every single night
You think that you can hide from the mornin' light

You forgot about sweet Sue
And the promises you said you'd do
She's gonna put you back up on the shelf
She does better by herself

Oh, Jeremiah
Won't you place the ring upon your finger?
Don't you leave it at home again tonight
Or inside of the pocket of your blue jeans
Well, you swear, this time tomorrow
You will be a different man
You'll change for the better
I hope you keep your promises
I hope you keep them, my sweet Jeremiah

But you forgot about sweet Sue
And the promises you said you'd do
She's gonna put you back up on the shelf
For she does better by herself

Well, she will make sure to keep all the dust away from you
For you are like the wine
You will get sweeter with time
