Lyrics
Jimmy Mack Jimmy,
Expressing longing for Jimmy Mack
Oh Jimmy Mack when are you comin' back.
Repeating the desire for Jimmy Mack's return
Jimmy Mack Jimmy,
Calling out to Jimmy Mack again
Oh Jimmy Mack when are you comin' back.
Reiterating the anticipation of Jimmy Mack's return
My arms are missing you,
Expressing the absence and longing for Jimmy Mack
My lips feel the same way too.
Highlighting the emotional impact on lips
I tried so hard to be true, like I promised to do.
Struggling to stay true to a promise
But this boy keeps comin' around,
Reference to another person trying to interfere
tryin' to wear my resistance down.
Describing persistent attempts to break resistance
Hey Jimmy, Jimmy,
Calling out to Jimmy Mack again
Oh Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back.
Repeating the question of Jimmy Mack's return
Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, you better hurry back.
Urging Jimmy Mack to return quickly
He calls me on the phone about three times a day.
Describing frequent phone calls from someone else
Now my heart's just listening to, what he has to say
Listening to the other person's words, affecting the heart
But this loneliness I have within,
Expressing inner loneliness and the desire for friendship
Keeps reaching out to be his friend
Seeking connection despite loneliness
Hey Jimmy, Jimmy,
Calling out to Jimmy Mack again
Oh Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back.
Repeating the question of Jimmy Mack's return
Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, you better hurry back.
Emphasizing the urgency for Jimmy Mack to return
Need your loving, need your loving.
Expressing the need for love
I wanna say I'm not getting any stronger,
Admitting emotional vulnerability
I can't hold out very much longer
Conveying the difficulty of enduring the situation
Trying hard, to be true,
Struggling to remain faithful despite challenges
But, Jimmy he talks just as sweet as you.
Comparing the sweetness of Jimmy's words with another
Hey Jimmy, Jimmy,
Calling out to Jimmy Mack again
Oh Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back.
Repeating the question of Jimmy Mack's return
Jimmy, Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Mack, you better hurry back.
Reiterating the urgency for Jimmy Mack to return
