Jimmy Loves Maryann
Just 17, everything that she's seen is all there in her eyes
So many years of her poor Mama's tears and her Daddy's sweet lies
But there's nobody home, and Maryann's alone
Almost fully grown, and worldly wise
Jimmy's been down, he's been out and around
And he knows where it's at
Love would be good if he thought that he could, but it isn't like that
He don't make mistakes
And what he needs, he takes
Jimmy gets all the breaks 'cause he knows how
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Maryann, she thinks it's alright
She's not alone when she picks up the phone
And she hears Jimmy say
"Baby, I'm beat, I'm so sick of the street, feel like runnin' away?
There's no life here at all, the city seems so small
And there's a sweeter music calling us away"
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Maryann, she thinks it's alright, alright
Big money town, it'll drag you right down if you go it alone
Even the strong don't survive very long when they're out on their own
Jimmy knows it's true, and Maryann knows it, too
They could see each other through, if they hold on
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Maryann, she thinks it's alright
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Maryann, she thinks it's alright
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
So many years of her poor Mama's tears and her Daddy's sweet lies
But there's nobody home, and Maryann's alone
Almost fully grown, and worldly wise
Jimmy's been down, he's been out and around
And he knows where it's at
Love would be good if he thought that he could, but it isn't like that
He don't make mistakes
And what he needs, he takes
Jimmy gets all the breaks 'cause he knows how
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Maryann, she thinks it's alright
She's not alone when she picks up the phone
And she hears Jimmy say
"Baby, I'm beat, I'm so sick of the street, feel like runnin' away?
There's no life here at all, the city seems so small
And there's a sweeter music calling us away"
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Maryann, she thinks it's alright, alright
Big money town, it'll drag you right down if you go it alone
Even the strong don't survive very long when they're out on their own
Jimmy knows it's true, and Maryann knows it, too
They could see each other through, if they hold on
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Maryann, she thinks it's alright
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Maryann, she thinks it's alright
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
Jimmy loves Maryann
Jimmy wants to be her man
