If I had married JFK
I would've lost my mind
Cause everybody seemed to know
How he spend his leisure time
Well, I guess that things were different then
A wife just turned her head
But do you think she cried
When the president didn't make it home to bed
How did she survive
That kind of life?
If I were Jackie
I'd got in one of those black sedans
And left the secret service in the dust
If I were Jackie
I'd told Marilyn
You could keep that man
Cause he's gonna cheat on you
Like he cheated on us
She kept on facing forward
And she held her head up high
Even when she smelled a strange perfume
She stood there by his side
She'd smiled and she would wave
Like she'd grown accustomed to
The picture of perfection
Like a debutante would do
Did she ever ask him
Where the hell have you been?
If I were Jackie
I'd got in one of those black sedans
And left the secret service in the dust
If I were Jackie
I'd told Marilyn
You could keep that man
Cause he's gonna cheat on you
Like he cheated on us
I guess it's easy for me
To sit here today
And say what I would do
Yeah, but we'd probably never know
If it was her weakness or her strength
That covered up the truth
If I were Jackie
I'd got in one of those black sedans
And left the secret service in the dust
If I were Jackie
I'd told Marilyn
You could keep that man
Cause he's gonna cheat on you
Like he cheated on us
If I were Jackie
I'd got in one of those black sedans
And left the secret service in the dust
