"Jimmy Mack" lyrics - KAREN CARPENTER

Jimmy, Jimmy
Oh, Jimmy Mack
When are you coming back?
Jimmy, Jimmy
Oh, Jimmy Mack
You better hurry back

My arms are missing you
My lips feel the same way too
I tried so hard to be true
Like I promised I'd do
But this boy keeps a-coming around
Trying to wear my resistance down

Jimmy, Jimmy
Oh, Jimmy Mack
When are you coming back?
Jimmy, Jimmy
Oh, Jimmy Mack
You better hurry back

He calls me on the phone
About three times a day
Now my heart keeps listening
To what he has to say
But this loneliness inside me is reaching out to be his friend

Hey, Jimmy, Jimmy
Oh, Jimmy Mack
When are you coming back?
Jimmy, Jimmy
Oh, Jimmy Mack
You better hurry back
Need your loving
Need your loving

I wanna say I'm getting any stronger
Can't hold on very much longer
I know I tried to be true
But, Jimmy, he talks just as sweet as you

Hey, Jimmy, Jimmy
Oh, Jimmy Mack
When are you coming back?
Jimmy, Jimmy
Jimmy Mack, Jimmy
Oh, Jimmy Mack
When are you coming back?
Need your loving!
Need your loving!

I'm not getting any stronger
Can't hold on very much longer
I know I tried to be true
But, Jimmy, he talks just as sweet as you

You better hurry back
And are you coming back?
When are you coming back?
And are you coming back?
Need your loving, Jimmy
