Jimmy Beware

(álbum: Goodnight My Love - 1963)

One night as I lay tossing turning in my bed
An image of a girl danced into my head
A girl I used to love, and this is what she said
"Beware, Jimmy beware"

Jimmy beware, Jimmy beware
There is danger lurking there
She's just a bubble, not worth the trouble
She will give you the air
Please, don't adore her, soon you will bore her
Oh, Jimmy beware
Jimmy beware

She told me she still loved me
And would always be
Hoping that the day would come
When I'd wake up and see
The girl whose love I longed for
Had no love for me
Beware, Jimmy beware

Jimmy beware, Jimmy beware
Oh, it just isn't fair
I made a mistake
My poor heart will break
Oh, why can't you care?
Come back to me
And soon you will see
A love so rare
Jimmy beware
