lyrics

In the white house of our dreams
Everything ain't what it seems
On the porch steps I will wait
But fears creep in when it's too late
I will stay in your shadow
Where you go I will follow
Your opinions for my own

But I can't be your Jacqueline
I can't be your Jacqueline
All my sensibilities dressed up in porcelain
I can't be your Jacqueline
I can't be your Jacqueline
I can't keep the harmony
Not without the melody

Hide behind your suit and tie
Lost when I'm not by your side
I can't do this on my own
Maybe I'm just better off alone
They say a woman
adapts to be the woman her man wants
But I do believe
I'm more than just a liability

I can't be your Jacqueline
I can't be your Jacqueline
All my sensibilities dressed up in porcelain
I can't be your Jacqueline
I can't be your Jacqueline
I can't keep the harmony
Not without the melody

There's no need to be concealing
All my thoughts I will reveal 'em
We're just different
But you don't have to be reminded
No need to complain about it
I fade away when disregarded

Oh Jacqueline..
I can't be your Jacqueline
All my sensibilities dressed up in porcelain
I can't be your Jacqueline
I can't be your Jacqueline
I can't keep the harmony
Not without the melody
