Jim doesn’t ever bring me pretty flowers
Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours
Don’t know why I’m so crazy for JimJim never tells me I’m his heart’s desire
I never seem to set his love afire
Gone are the years I’ve wasted on himSometimes when I get feeling low
I say let’s call it quits
Then I hang on and let him go
Breaking my heart in bitsSomeday I know that Jim will up and leave me
But even if he does you can believe me
I’ll go on carrying the torch for Jim(bridge)
Sometimes when I get feeling low
I say let’s call it quits
Then I hang on and let him go
Breaking my heart in bitsSomeday I know that Jim will up and leave me
But even if he does you can believe me
I’ll go on carrying the torch for JimI’ll go on loving my Jim
