[Verse]

It's a shame that I don't love you better

Fateful words emblazoned on your sweater

Made to move him from a distance

Every line to outline your resistance

[Chorus]

[Verse]

Fortunately he tries to placate her

Tying notes to broken kitchenalia

The way the ink blots on the sink stops

[Chorus]

Jennifer, why do you have to be so taciturn?

Jennifer, why do you have to be so taciturn?

[Bridge]

In almost all her clothes

Are growing greater by the day

Her April showers

Will have soon devoured

The alacrity of May

[Chorus]

Jennifer, why do you have to be so taciturn?

Jennifer, why do you have to be so taciturn?

[Outro]
