Well, I grew up in a town that was pretty big for its size
It was overpopulated with pretty girls with pretty big eyes
And lovin' all those girls just about drove me insane
Jerry is my name, but they call me Lover's Lane
I didn't care much for sports and all those little boy games
I'd rather love girls and put all those other boys to shame
Well, I loved them one and all enough
And I'd rather love girls and put all those other boys to shame

And just about all the same
Jerry is my name, but they call me Lover's Lane
I was whinin' on them and dinin' on them and havin' me so much fun
I was whinin' on them and dinin' on them and havin' me so much fun
Until one day I got serious and settled for one
I tried so hard to resist, but I tried it all in vain
Jerry is my name, but they call me Lover's Lane
We bought a little house on a street called Lover's Lane
Now there's three little ones growin' up like the weeds in the rain
And I can't get very far from the house, she makes it plain
Jerry is my name, but she still calls me Lover's Lane
Well, Jerry is my name, but mama calls me Lover's Lane

Jerry is my name, but she still calls me Lover's Lane
