PHIL COLLINS - Jimmy Mack lyrics

rate me

[Originally by Martha Reeves And The Vandellas]

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming 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

[Chorus:]

Hey Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back

He calls me on the phone, about three times a day

Now my heart's just listening to what he has to say

But this loneliness that I have within keeps reaching out to be his friend

[Chorus]

Need your loving, need your loving

[Instrumental break]

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

[Chorus]

Need your loving, need your loving

Need your loving, need your loving...

(Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back)

[Repeats out]
