[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

[Bridge]
Sometimes when I get feelin' low
I say, "Let's call it quits"
Then I hang on and let him go
Breakin' my heart in bits

[Verse 3]
Someday I know that Jim will up and leave me
But evеn if he does, you can beliеve me
I'll go on carrying the torch for Jim

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Sometimes when I get feelin' low
I say, "Let's call it quits"
Then I hang on and let him go
Breakin' my heart in bits
[Verse 3]
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 Jim

[Outro]
I'll go on lovin' my Jim
