Jimmy's Girl
Johnny Tillotson Lyrics
Jimmy's girl, Jimmy's girl
Wish that I were holdin' Jimmy's girl
I'm in love with Jimmy's girl
Though I've never met her
Still I can't forget her
Jimmy's girl
Jimmy's always telling me
That her hair is golden
Jimmy's girl
He says her lips are warm
Each time they kiss good night
And just as sweet as any lips can be-ee
And then I close my eyes
And though it's make-believe
I pretend she's in love with me-ee
How I long for Jimmy's girl
But her love is taken
So my heart is breakin'
For Jimmy's girl (Jimmy's girl)
When I close my eyes
Although it's make-believe
I pretend she's in love with me-ee
I'm in love with Jimmy's girl
But her love is taken
So my heart is breakin'
For Jimmy's girl, Jimmy's girl
How my heart is breakin'
For Jimmy's girl (Jimmy's girl)
