Just to think I had her in my hands To think we made our plans Somehow it feels just like a dream For I played it so darn cool Is there a bigger fool To say I wanted to be free Cause now I know just what she meant to me [Chorus] Jody, even the wind says your name, girl When I think of you I'm aflame, girl, every time Jody, girl I've tried but I can't forget The years when we lived together I thought it would be forever Jody, I'm begging now Look around but there's no way out What's it all about And how that name goes round my head I still see her face as she laid upon this bed [Chorus] Just say the word, I'll run to you I'll be the man you want me to How I'd miss you I never knew [Chorus] Even the wind says your name girl When I think of you I'm aflame, girl Jody, even the wind says your name, girl When I think of you I'm aflame, girl
