Jefferson - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Per Gessle]

Jefferson was, always out of luck

I remember, when we both grew up

Jefferson got, hit by a westbound truck

I guess that didn't make him look like, a million bucks

[Pre-Chorus: Per Gessle]

That night when Sally really stole the show

And every boy was captured diggin' for gold

Poor old Jefferson was left in the snow

[Chorus: Per Gessle]

I'm gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson's soul

I'm gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson's soul

[Verse 2: Per Gessle]

Jefferson is always on my mind

When him and me were, runnin' out of time

Jefferson was, sure enough, left behind

The cops came in and, took him by surprise

[Pre-Chorus: Per Gessle]

That night when Sally really showed her game

The neighbourhood would never be the same

Poor old Jefferson got the blame, oh

[Chorus: Per Gessle]

I'm gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson's soul

Yeah, I'm gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson's soul

My my my, I'm gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson's soul

Yeah, I'm gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson's soul

[Bridge: Marie Fredriksson]

I do believe, he didn't do wrong

I say a prayer for, someone I care for

I do believe he didn't do wrong

I say a prayer for, someone I care for

[Pre-Chorus: Per Gessle]

That night where Sally really gave it all

And made us small boys look quite tall

Poor old Jefferson left the ball

[Chorus: Per Gessle]

Yeah, I'm gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson's soul

I'm gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson's soul

My my my, I'm gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson's soul (Hey!)

I'm gonna pray for Jefferson

Pray for Jefferson's soul

[Outro: Per Gessle]

A-a-a-ah
