about

I wrote 4 different songs for the introduction of The Current Mrs. Cregan into the narrative. I chose this one because the record company demanded a single.

I apologize. There is no record company. Or single. I just always like those stories where artists claim they only included an album's most popular song because the record company wanted a single. Poseurs. We know the truth: you need love.

lyrics

On day one I had a vision, brown eyed girl who got religion right
Knew right away she could be heaven if I ever learned and fell in line

A true Virginian like I'd never seen
Such a woman whatcha knowing sturdy long and lean

Jeni, Jeni...something 'bout you makes me want a wedding
Just one little old look from you is plenty
Some television's fine for me
And the Belle of U.S.C.

Before long my only thing was thinking I might get a ring on time
A student loan or two could get you white gold and some clarity to bind

Only problem I could ever see
Were all your friends who prayed to end our love and poor old me

Jeni, Jeni...something 'bout you makes me want a wedding
Just one little old look from you is plenty
Some television's fine for me
And the Belle of U.S.C.

Everyone is betting that you're gonna show the door
I'll take that action we're a match they never saw before
You're showing them you're tougher than any girl alive
If life with me is rougher baby, you're the perfect wife

I sat your daddy down and asked it to him straight
I'll beg permission but my mission's never gonna wait

Jeni, Jeni...something 'bout you makes me want a wedding
Just one little old look from you is plenty
Night of television's fine for me
Those girls can just disagree
You got me and a fine degree
You're the Belle of U.S.C.
