Lyrics
We've talked it to death, crying on the telephone
Nights when he drinks at home, she has to whisper through the tears
"Darling," she says, "you'd never do these things to me"
But I can never make her see he's wasted such precious years
"You married the wrong guy" is all I ever say
He's a no good so and so
But she'll never let him go
Though she knows it'll never work
She loves the jerk
She loves the jerk
He was the guy always out on the make
I guess he had what it takes to turn the heads of pretty girls
She thought he would change, the worst of us will settle down
But he couldn't stay out of town, not even for this precious pearl
Now she lives with the lies and the bumps and the bruises
He's a no good so and so
But she'll never let him go
Though she knows it'll never work
She loves the jerk
She loves the jerk
I hang up the phone and I pretend she's in my arms
What I wouldn't give for just one-tenth of what she gives Mister Charming
He's a no good so and so
But she'll never let him go
Though she knows it'll never work
She loves the jerk
She loves the jerk
She loves the jerk
She loves the jerk
She loves the jerk
