Karen Carpenter Karen Carpenter - Jimmy Mack

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 coming around
He's trying to wear my resistance down

Hey 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 that I have within keeps
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 not getting any stronger
I can't hold out very much longer
Trying hard 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
Oh jimmy mack
When are you coming back?

Need your loving
Need your loving

Jimmy mack
When are you coming back?
Jimmy mack
You better hurry back

I'm not getting any stronger
I can't hold out very much longer

Jimmy mack
Coming back

Jimmy mack

I can't hold out very much longer
