Jimmy Mack

...JIMMY MACK... by Martha & The Vandellas

*from 'Watchout!' (1966)*

(Original Key: C#)

Chorus 1:

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?

Verse 1:

My arms are missing you;

My lips feel the same way, too.

I tried so hard to be true,

Li-ike I promised I'd do.

But this boy keeps coming around,

He's trying to wear my re-sistance down.

Chorus 2:

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; you better hurry back.

Verse 2:

He calls me on the phone;

About three times a day.

Now my heart's just listening to,

What he has to say.

But this loneliness, that I have within;

Keeps reaching out, to be his friend.

Chorus 3:

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; you better hurry back.

Break:

Need your loving, F C

(Jimmy Mack; won't you hurry back?)

Need your loving, C F G7

(Jimmy Mack; you better hurry back).

Interlude:

I wanna say;

Verse 3:

I'm not getting any stronger;

I can't hold out, very much longer.

Trying hard, to be true,

But Jimmy; he talks just as sweet as you.

Chorus 4:

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; you better hurry back.

Coda:

Need your loving, (hurry back, Jimmy Mack).

Need your loving, (hurry...hurry, hurry).

Hey, Jimmy Mack; you better hurry back.

Hey, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?

(Repeat to Fade)
