If I had married 
JFK I would have lost my mind '
Cause everybody seemed to know 
How he spent 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 of told 
Marylin - you can 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 smile and she would wave 
Like she had 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 of told 
Marylin - you can keep that man '
Cause he's gonna cheat on you like he cheated on us [spoken] 
Well, I guess it's easy to sit here today and say what 
I would do 
Yeah, but we'll probably never know 
If it was her weakness or 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 of told 
Marylin - you can 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 seans 
And left the secret service in the dust
