��Why am I sitting alone tonight��When I could be out where the lights are bright��It's all because of Jim��It's all because of Jim��Why am I wasting these precious years��Why am I crying these bitter tears��It's all because of Jim��It's all because of Jim��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��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��Sometimes when I get feeling low��I say let's call it quits��Then I hang on and let him go��Breaking my heart in bits��Oh, someday I know that Jim will up and leave me��But even if he does, you can't believe me��I'll go on carrying the torch for Jim��He's nothing to look at, nothing to him��But he is the man for he's just my Jim�
