Bettye LaVette - Let Me Down Easy

Jimmy Mack

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (ooh)

(Jimmy Mack)
Jimmy!
(Oh Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back?)

(Jimmy Mack) Jimmy!
(Jimmy) Jimmy!
(Oh, Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back?)

Now, my arms are missing you
And my lips feel the same way too
I tried so hard to be true, just like I promised I do
But this guy keeps comin' around
He's tryin' to wear my resistance down

Jimmy, Jimmy
Hey Jimmy Mack, you better bring him back
Jimmy, Jimmy
Hey Jimmy Mack, you better bring him back

Now he calls me on the phone, about three or more times a day
Now my heart's doesn't listen to a single word he has to say
But this loneliness I feel within
Keep reaching out tryin' to be his friend

Hey Jimmy, Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back?
Jimmy, Jimmy! Hey Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back?
I need your loving (Jimmy Mack, won't you hurry back?)
Need your love baby (Jimmy Mack, won't you hurry back?)

Now, I'm not getting any stronger
I can't hold out too much longer
Trying hard, to be true
But, Jimmy, that man talks as sweet as you

Hey Jimmy, Jimmy!
Jimmy Mack, you better bring it home, back here
Jimmy, Jimmy!
Hey Jimmy Mack, you gotta have it back

I need your love, baby (Jimmy Mack, won't you hurry back?)
Need your love, baby (Jimmy Mack, won't you hurry back?)
(Jimmy Mack (Jimmy Mack, hurry back)
Hey Jimmy (Jimmy Mack, Jimmy Mack)
Hurry back (Jimmy Mack)
(Jimmy Mack, Jimmy Mack, Jimmy Mack)
Jimmy Mack, you gotta hurry back

Hurry back
Jimmy Mack, woo, hurry back
Jimmy Mack, woo, hurry back
You gotta hurry back
