Lyrics
Verse 1:
Jimmy tells me a story
tells me it's fact
Seen you down by the railroad tracks
She was holdin' hands
On with another man
I don't think he's goin for that
I don't think he's goin for that
Gets out of college
Has a life to live through
Change's his plans
Just to be with you
He had love hon'
And he was true
And if you leave
You'll be leavin' him blue
If you Leave
You'll be leavin him blue
Chorus:
I don't think he's goin for that
He want's you, and he be wantin you back
He says without you
This world go's black
I don't he's goin for that
I don't think he's goin for that
Verse 2:
Tells me of times
When you used to love him
Now you turn your back and you sin
was it lust, or was it Jim
Tell me the truth
Did you ever love him
Tell me the truth
Did you ever love him
Chorus x 1
He used to stand tall
Now he's down bruised
Thats how you feel
when your gettin used
He holds on his heart
Cause it's fallin in Two
he ain't got no world
If he ain't got you
Ain't got no world
Cause he ain't got you
Chorus X 2
