UB40 sings about desperate longing for someone named Jerry not to leave. The narrator recalls meeting Jerry downtown and can't stop thinking about him, haunted by emptiness and the fear of being alone.
Jerry, Jerry, don't go and leave me alone. Don't go and leave me alone. My thoughts are always with you. The emptiness leaves me blue. If you should ever deserve it, and life deserves Sweetheart, sweetie too. Jerry, Jerry, don't go and leave me alone. Don't go and leave me alone. We'll be there together downtown in the daydream again. Downtown is the first place I met you. Downtown, where we could always be. Jerry, Jerry, don't go and leave me alone. Don't go and leave me alone. Let me all alone. Jerry, Jerry, don't go and leave me alone. Don't go and leave me alone. Don't go and leave me alone. Don't go And leave me alone.
