jeannie’s diary

how does her world spin
without me in her nest?
could there really be such happiness?

oh, she’s got a dark side too
even murderous
but i love that
just like her

i don’t have a chance at writing the book
i just wanna be a page
in jeannie’s diary
one single page
in jeannie’s diary

yes i am intense
maybe quite obsessed
everything she does is curious

oh, she’s going to let me in
i just know it’s so
then again, who do i kid?

i don’t have a prayer for writing the book
i just wanna be a page
in jeannie’s diary
one single page
in jeannie’s diary

she could have anything she wants
so why not me?
she could have anything she dreams
oh, to be one single page
one single page
in jeannie’s diary
