Lyrics
Jennifer turned seventeen
Going on thirty
Caught the eye
Of the man next door
No harm in flirting
She could see him
In his den at night
Never drew the curtain
She could feel him watching her
She was absolutely certain
Jennifer's an A student
Every parent's prize
Jennifer is nearly perfect
There's just one small problem
Jennifer lies
Jennifer was quite amused
At her neighbor's invitation
He'd stayed behind to work
Wife and kids were on vacation
She had seen the look he had
Lots of times before
His eyes were nearly begging her
As she glided through the door
Was innocence lost
Or merely reduced
Who was seducer
and who was seduced
Jennifer was unprepared
For the wife and kids arrival
Amid the angry shouts and tears
She planned her own survival
Insisted it was all his fault
That he took advantage
She had tried to push him off
But it was more than she could manage
