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
