Annotationen
Diese Single wurde mit ca. $300'000.– New Payola im Radio exponiert und gilt als eine der teuersten Singles aller Zeiten. Die teure promotion brachte aber lediglich einen Radio-Hit ohne Album-Verkäufe. Da die Musikwirtschaft von den Albumverkäufen lebte, war die Payola in den Sand gesetzt (siehe Dannen, Fredric: Hit Men: Power Brokers and Fast Money Inside the Music Business, 1991, p. 15f.).

Lyrics
[Verse 1] Oh, Mama say a prayer for me Jesse's back in town It won't be easy Don't let him near me Don't let him touch me Don't let him seize me [Chorus 1] Jesse I won't cut fresh flowers for you No, Jesse And I won't make the wine cold for you No, Jesse I won't change the sheets for you I won't put on cologne I won't sit by the phone for you [Verse 2] Annie, keep reminding me That he cut out my heart Like a paper doll Sally, tell me once again How he set me up Just to see me fall [Chorus 1] Jesse I won't cut fresh flowers for you No, Jesse I won't make the wine cold for you No, Jesse I won't change the sheets for you I won't put on cologne I won't sit by the phone for you No, no, no [Bridge] Jesse, quick come here I won't tell a soul (not even myself) Jesse, that you've come back to me My friends will all say, she's gone again But, how can anyone know What you are to me? That I'm in heaven again Because you've come back to me Ooooh, Jesse! [Chorus 2] Jesse I'll always cut fresh flowers for you And Jesse I'll always make the wine cold for you Oh Jesse I can easily change my mind about you And put on cologne And sit by the phone for you Oh, yeah [Verse 3] Jesse Let's open the wine And drink to the heart Which has a will of its own My friends (my friends) It's tough for them They're feeling bad They think I've sunk so low [Chorus 2] Jesse I'll always cut fresh flowers for you And Jesse I will make the wine cold for you Oh Jesse I will change the sheets for you And put on cologne And I will wait by the phone for you Oh, Jesse! [Refrain] (La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la) Oh Jesse (La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la) [Outro / Chorus 2] Jesse I will cut fresh flowers for you And Jesse, yeah Make the wine cold for you Oh, Jesse And I will change the sheets for you
