You want my attention but you don't want me.
Just keep me on the back-burner, let's wait and see.
Fill me with riddles, then you chase me down
but when I come to town you say, 'See you around'.
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick,
if I were Jack I'd burn you with my candlestick!
Cause I'm up when you're down,
if I smile then you frown,
I'm everything that you're not!
If I'm hot then you're cold,
if I'm shy then you're bold,
this is getting old.
So I fold.
You have my attention but you don't have me.
I'll keep you on the back-burner, I'll wait and see.
Think that you should feel a bit ashamed
for dragging me into your foolish, little game.
But I've been playing, waiting for that royal flush
but what's the point if you're a guy that I can't trust?
With those pale green eyes...
(Repeat Chorus)
Cause I'm up when you're down,
if I smile then you frown,
I'm everything that you're not!
If I'm hot then you're cold,
if I'm shy then you're bold,
this is getting old.
So I fold.
Jack jump high, Jack jump low.
Hey Jack, I think I have to let you go.
So if you think you're gonna use me,
then you're gonna lose me.
Jack was nimble, Jack thought he was quick,
Well, I am done with all your dirty tricks.
Now you wont use me, you wont abuse me.
Even your ugly words aren't gonna bruise me.
