Oh Mama say a prayer for me
Jessie'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

Jessie, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
No Jessie, and I won't make the wine cold for you
No Jessie, I won't change the sheets for you
I won't put on cologne, I won't sit by the phone for you

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

Jessie, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
No Jessie, I won't make the wine cold for you
No Jessie, 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

Jessie, quick come here, I won't tell a soul
(Not even myself)
Jessie, that you've come back to me, my friends will all say
(She's gone again)
How can anyone know what you are to me
That I'm in heaven again
Because you've come back to me
Ooooh
Jessie

Jessie, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
And Jessie, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Oh Jessie, I can easily change my mind about you
And put on cologne and sit by the phone for you
Oh yeah

Jessie
Lets open the wine
And drink to the heart
Which has a will of it's own
My friends (My friends)
It's tough for them
They're feeling bad
They think I've sunk so low

Jessie, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
And Jessie, I will make the wine cold for you
Oh Jessie, I will change the sheets for you
And put on cologne and I will wait by the phone for you

Oh, Jessie
(La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la)
Oh Jessie
(La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la)

Jessie, I will cut fresh flowers for you
And Jessie, yeah, make the wine cold for you
Oh Jessie, and I will change the sheets for you................

The Carly Simon track you are looking for is called "Jesse", it came out
in 1980, and is on her "Come Upstairs" album. The lyrics are as
follows:

JESSE (Carly Simon)

Oh mother, 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 please me

Chorus:
Jesse, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I won't make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I won't change the sheets for you

I won't put on cologne

I won't sit by the phone for you

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

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 - Oh Jesse

Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I can easily change my mind about you
And put on cologne
And sit by the phone for you

Jesse, let's open the wine

And drink to the heart
Which has a will of it's own

My friends, let's comfort them

They're feeling bad
They think I've sunk so low

Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I will change the sheets for you
Put on cologne
And I will wait by the phone for you - Oh Jesse.
