Jacob And 2 Women lyrics

Jacob, he loved Rachel and Rachel, she loved him
And Leah was just there for dramatic effect
Well it`s right there in the Bible, so it must not be a sin
But it sure does seem like an awful dirty trick
And her sky is just a petal pressed in a book of a memory
Of the time he thought he loved her and they kissed
And her friends say, `Ah, he`s a devil`
But she says, `No, he is a dream`
This is the world as best as I can remember it

Now Jacob got two women and a whole house full of kids
And he schemed his way back to the promised land
And he finds it`s one thing to win `em
And it`s another to keep `em content
When he knows that he is only just one man
And his sky`s an empty bottle and when he`s drunk the ocean dry
Well he sails off three sheets to some reckless wind
And his friends say, `Ain`t it awful`
And he says, `No, I think it`s fine`
And this is the world as best as I can remember it

Now Rachel`s weeping for the children
That she thought she could not bear
And she bears a sorrow that she cannot hide
And she wishes she was with them
But she just looks and they`re not there
Seems that love comes for just a moment
And then it passes on by

And her sky is just a bandit
Swinging at the end of a hangman`s noose
`Cause he stole the moon and must be made to pay for it
And her friends say, `My, that`s tragic`
She says, `Especially for the moon`
And this is the world as best as I can remember it
And this is the world as best as I can remember it
