Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 Jim
[Verse 2]
Jim 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 him
[Verse 3]
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 bits
[Verse 4]
Someday, 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 my Jim
[Verse 5]
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes when I get feeling low
I say, I say, "Let's call it quits"
Then I hang on, let him go
Breaking my heart in bits
[Verse 6]
Someday, I know
Someday, 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
