Booker Lyrics - Singles - Harry Connick, Jr.

And the warden said 

"He won't need a cell, he has the key 

There's no harsher sentence 

The man's doin life in the first degree" 

Some people seek to set blame 

Some just accept their part 

And now you know why Booker 

Died of a broken heart 

And the priest said 

"I can take confession but not the sin 

The church is the shelter 

Not the faith, son, that's within" 

Some people pray for fortune and fame 

Some just play a part 

And now you know why Booker 

Died of a broken heart 

And the doctor said 

"I can see you're hurt just by lookin' at you 

Pain we can help 

But for hurt, there's nothin' we can do" 

Some people pick up the pieces 

Some just leave them apart 

And now you know why Booker 

Now you know why Booker 

Now you know why Booker 

Died of a broken heart
