Styx - Jennifer Lyrics






Jennifer
She drinks her sherry wine
She keeps her lady's love for me all the time
She's seventeen, barely old enough to cry
A child in her father's eyes
A woman every night

Her love,
gives me the power
Her dreams carry me on
Jennifer, so inviting
That I sing

Jennifer
She took me by surprise
She told me that she's much too young to keep me satisfied
Jennifer, ah so delicate and shy
A child in her mother's eyes but
A woman every night

Her love,
gives me the power
Her dreams carry me on
Jennifer, so inviting
That I sing...

    Man oh Man ,,, i haven't heard this since the late 70's ,,,song is absolutely great !! Anyone know of a live performance of this song anywhere ,,,,,

  19. S.... L....

    Is this the perfect four minute pop rock song. Love the intricate but almost muted guitar solo. Just enough aggression to satisfy my rock desires

  20. C.... ....

    The 17 thing has to remind me of the opening line of The Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There"!

  21. h.... ....

    Thank You Dennis DeYoung For Your Words And Music: And To Also Chuck And ( The Late) John Panozzo, James Young And Tommy Shaw For Putting This Song Together On Tape For All Time. Styx: Forever A SuperStar Band:

  26. A.... N....

    Story of the album cover: Oh look a crystal ball.
    man: WHAT IS MY FUTURE
    crystal ball shows him
    man: SWEET, a stripper

    immature jokes aside, styx is probably the best band ever, they shall remain number one and NEVAH BE BEATEN

  27. J.... t....

    I love this song..I dont remember ever hearing it..most name songs with my name or variations are campy..this is great

  28. j.... ....

    The depth on this album always surprises me because it was so overlooked. Crystal Ball and Mademoiselle might have been the main attractions (understandably), but DDY had some great tunes on this one.

  29. J.... k....

    my name is Jennifer, and I love this song becsuuse it sounds futuristic techno. If I had the money I would buy one of those Deloreans and a wizard hat and cruise PACIFIC HIGHWAY #1 and have a vacation and drive the beach and maybe even Highway 74 really fast just for a thrill. I wouldn't put too much oil though, and try to stay on the D.L., not just any automobile, it must be a Delorean. I fits my dilemma and purpose in life.

    J.... k....

    maybe you like this song all like that but i can assure you this song has nothing to do with futuristic techno period.

    J.... k....

    are we talking real or model kit. be certain you don't sniff that Testors, girlie hear!

    J.... k....

    @Frank Guertin you wouldn't say that if she showed her real photo.

  30. J.... J....

    My girls name is Jenny. She has earned her years like none I've known. Days of certainty that her nights will be unforgiving. Living a life like this many have chosen not to see. They have been given a challenge from birth and what we take for granted for would never come to be.
    Anxiousness, the high anxiety.
    Since I've met her I've found my purpose to be all I could be.
    A love dependent on every hanging word. Revisited just to find comfort that can't be heard. I thought I knew what devotion was but never known since her. She has me tamed to the point or I'll lose myself to the world. She's the one I've looked for when failure was all I found. Now it's me who has to be the man I am to bring her up from so far down.. Our lives crashed together like old story book lovers always meant for each other and now always bound. She's the piece of the puzzle, to my yang she is my yin. This is love in its truest form to give and give again.

    J.... J....

    wow...great emotonal comment..I hope your jenny feels like you do about you...so romantic

    J.... J....

    that my friend congrats to you both

    J.... J....

    love is real

    J.... J....

    restoring the faith i had in love

    The bridge and guitar solos for this sounds very similar to Crystal Balls, while the keyboards at the end sounds similar to Babe.

    M.... ....

    Only Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" seems to be adept at using bits and pieces of older songs, some that were never released.

    But here, the title song "Crystal Ball" does come after this...

    M.... ....

    Part of this song also sounds like the opener "Put Me On."

    M.... ....

    MrSilksoul
    A lot of Styx guitar solos sound very similar to each other, particularly the way JY and TS end them.

  32. s.... j....

    I saw Styx open for Bad Company back in the mid 70's, and I must say that Styx blew 'em away. Bad Co. is good but Styx had a lot more energy.

    s.... j....

    Sticks is cool as far as music goes...that's just my opinon, nothing Moore

  33. b.... ....

    My name is Mud.

  34. b.... r....

    that my mom name

  35. E.... ....

    Have never heard this shit before, who's been hiding this great shit?  Mother Fubber.....  did I fall asleep on the first 3 albums?   Dam, will never find this shit in my area for sure....  Just shows me Deyoung was the start up of the band, and he got fucked in the end... Mainly his bottom section...

    E.... ....

    +CM Rosary Any idea what year was this album released?

    E.... ....

    +CM Rosary How interesting! What a song! All about Jennifer, you know? Whip cares about the. rest

  36. M.... W....

    been sssoooo long since ive heard this cd... going to buy it soon

  37. c.... ....

    Not many people realize the talent and virtuosity that it takes to play such a seemingly simple piece, but I do and I was right there with them in those years enjoying it, and I still do.

     

  38. J.... H....

    thank you Wikipedia

  39. o.... ....

    This song will always be a part of the great years of STYX. Dennis De Young, Chuck Panozzo, The late John Panozzo, James Young and Tommy Shaw. Styx, forever a Superstar Band.

  40. S.... Z....

    I am a Taylor Swift fan as well as a classic rock fan. That is how I feel about the people that hate her. They hear all the criticism and join that bandwagon imnstead of just listening to her music and actually gfiving it a chance.

  41. e.... ....

    I had a Jennifer, once. We were hot for each other, and each 17. This song will always remind me of her, even now 30 yrs later. :)

  42. t.... ....

    The name Jennifer Is Celtic in origin and means "White Wave". It is derived from the name Guinevere.

  43. S.... ....

    I love Styx, but for some reason this song just rubs me the wrong way. I can not stand it.

  44. M.... ....

    Jennifer lives next door to me,...her eyes sparkle, she pads around bare foot, her smile is contagious and she is,..not 17 now. Some things get BETTER with age. (she is still a little girl on the inside, and she floors me!)

    M.... ....

    Sweet👧

  45. F.... ....

    My parents named me after this song

  46. c.... ....

    classic piece from yesteryears, dear to my heart.

  47. J.... G....

    @lioness901
    Do you drink cherry wine?

  48. C.... ....

    Told everyone I know that this song was about me :) Strange, though, how I wasn't born in the time of Styx...

  49. H.... Z....

    @kim17ct2005 Beautiful name. Your parents were cool to name you after a really great song.

  50. d.... ....

    this song goes good along with Depeche Mode -Little 15 and The Beatles - Saw Here Standing There.

  51. K.... W....

    I was named after this song. I love that!!!!

  52. g.... ....

    @StyxFan93 LOVE Christopher Mr. Christopher. Wonder why they keep removing it?

  53. D.... P....

  60. J.... B....

    They were always one of my favoirite bands growing up but then agian I was born in '63. in 1980 i paid 15$ for a floor seat at concert that was cancelled becuase dennis de young had larigitis.

  61. W.... F....

    @StyxFan93 Well one of the things about people and Styx is they hear Mr. Roboto(which is a great song, but an odd song) and they go eww, this is Styx? But hardly any of them know songs like Jennifer, or Christopher, Mr. Christopher,(which btw is arguably my favourite song on the Man of Mircales Album.) Thanks for uploading the songs :)

  62. 7.... ....

    I'm kinda giggling at all the "my name is Jennifer comments"- even though i AM another Jennifer too. i mean the name was the number 1 girls name in the US for 3 straight decades....there's a lot of us. it aint that special. :P

    Would love to hear this one again. It is an excellent song. Almost impossible to say best since so many of theirs fight for top honors.

  75. g.... ....

    AWESOME SONG! Listen to this while staring at my baby Jennifer Runyon!

  76. F.... ....

    alot of competition back then...heavy metal was just finding its roots in Grand Funk.

  77. B.... ....

    This is such a great song. Thank you so much for posting!!!

  78. F.... ....

    the sad thing is they are so underrated as a band, listen to the harmonies of vocals and guitars and the cool riffs and drum beats. I mean they are epic, but unfortunately they don't get as much recognition as they deserve.

  79. j.... ....

    I ADORE this song--who ever u are styx fan--thank u!!! I honestly don't know why this is my absolute FAV Styx song?!!! I have loved it since I was a soph in high school!!!!!!!!!! Saw them in concert in 80"s like 16x's!!!!!!! Thank's again!!!!!!!
