Oh, Jeremiah Tell me, what have you done? You took all the love she gave You took it all and away you run You can't keep all your love bottled inside So you give it away to women Almost a different woman every single night You think that you can hide from the mornin' light You forgot about sweet Sue And the promises you said you'd do She's gonna put you back up on the shelf She does better by herself Oh, Jeremiah Won't you place the ring upon your finger? Don't you leave it at home again tonight Or inside of the pocket of your blue jeans Well, you swear, this time tomorrow You will be a different man You'll change for the better I hope you keep your promises I hope you keep them, my sweet Jeremiah But you forgot about sweet Sue And the promises you said you'd do She's gonna put you back up on the shelf For she does better by herself Well, she will make sure to keep all the dust away from you For you are like the wine You will get sweeter with time
