Jim doesn’t ever bring me pretty flowers Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours I don’t know why I’m so crazy for Jim
Jim never tells me I’m his heart’s desire I never seem to set his love afire Gone are the years that I’ve wasted on him Sometimes when I get to feeling low And I say “Let’s call it quits” Then I hang on and let him go Breaking my heart into bits
Someday, someday I know Jim will up and leave me But if he does, you can believe me I’ll go on carrying the torch for Jim (Jim)
