We took a walk that night but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held I close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For me to go so let me know if it's alright

I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held I close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
And then you whisper in my ear
I know what you're doing here
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

The Trilogy is about how jenny cheated on him so he killed her.

well, i got the idea of ****ing from the sound of his voice. i see it's a mix between p****ion and regret. and as his love and p****ion can't be enough reasons for regret, even if she's leaving him. he must have done something wrong -a crime as mentioned- to regretting it. + it's a perfect crime scene for ****ing regarding that ****ing is the only way to fulfill his swear, right?

I love this song. It's got great lyrics and a great storyline (and yes, it's part of the murder trilogy, along with Midnight Show and Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf). One of the coolest parts of Jenny Was a Friend of Mine is that my name is Jenny. Well, actually, I hate when people call me Jenny and prefer Jen or Jennifer. But this song makes me like the name more. And I don't care that the Jenny in this song dies. lol.

Actually, it is about a murder, he is with the poliche"I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time for me to go so let me know if it's alright" And he says he couldn't ****ed her because they were friends

I mite be wrong but I think you're the one who's confused. Midnight Show seems more about a cheating girlfriend than Jenny and Jenny does sound like murdering a girl named Jenny so...yeah
