Hi,
Really would appreciate ay feedback on this slightly convoluted and dark love story. Inspired in part by some Telly I watched recently about the Cray twins [ notorious London Gangster in the 60's], with interviews with old associates of their who are now in their 80's..
Thanks for reading and I'd love suggestions and comments on this story. It is all singable. But it has 2 x smile and 2 x glove in it, always room for improvement.

Please sit down I’ll tell you my story
I promise it wont take long
About a girl as gorgeous as can be
A girl that had the best of me
Driving for some big shots south of the river
The work was regular, cash in hand
No questions asked, kept my mouth shut
My eyes on the road, leather gloves on hands
refrain
One look in the rear view, I was taken
All smiles and laughter, we both knew the score
Pulled into a lay-by on the, A27
No words were spoken, I never told a soul
Her hair pulled back as dark as midnight
A captivating smile and Dusty’s eyes
Wasn’t thinking about the future
Just the here and now, I’d never felt so alive
Jennifer, Jenifer I love you
Jennifer, Jennifer, we were just passing through
He sent some heavies down from the city
All black moustaches, smelt of cigar smoke
I always knew that it couldn’t end well
And then, the lights, went out
I heard later from a friend her looks were taken
I have to say I still can’t walk too well
If I could have my time again. Would I do same?
And then I’d have another tale to tell
Jennifer, Jenifer I love you
Jennifer, Jennifer, we were just passing through
Jennifer, Jenifer I love you
Jennifer, Jennifer, I was always true
