Jimmy is married and he lives down southHis wife lives somewhere colderHe sees another woman in a badlands townAnd she cries upon his shoulderJimmy thinks that he s a helpless manHe thinks about love in a vacuumAnd he won t remember that talk you hadWhen you were walking into the bedroomHe ll say I don t know why we metThe simple truth is always the bestC est la vie - what s done is doneAnd there s somebody for everyoneJimmy has debts and Jimmy has tiesThat he can t get out from underIf you look far enough into his eyesIt ll rock you just like thunderJimmy broke locks and Jimmy broke boltsJust to get himself out from underWhen you feel like you re lying in a prison cellIt ll kind of make you wonderHe ll say it s destiny we metThe simple truth is always the bestDon t you see what s done is doneAnd there s somebody for everyoneI used to get drunk to get my sparkAnd it used to work just fineIt made me wretched but it gave me heartI miss Jimmy like I miss my wineJimmy as if you didn t know by nowLet me tell you a thing or twoEverybody might have someoneBut everyone falls in love with you...He ll say you get just what you getThe simple truth is always the bestDon t you see what s done is done?And there s somebody for everyone
