The Facts About Jimmy Lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Jimmy is married and he lives down South 

And his wife lives somewhere colder 

He sees another woman in a Badlands town 

And she cries upon his shoulder 

Jimmy thinks that he's a helpless man 

He thinks about love in a vacuum 

And he won't remember that talk you had 

When you were walking into the bedroom 

And he'll say, "I don't know why we met 

But the simple truth is always the best 

C'est la vie, what's done is done 

And there's somebody for everyone" 

Jimmy has debts and Jimmy has ties 

That he can't get out from under 

If you look far enough into his eyes 

It'll rock you just like thunder 

Jimmy broke locks and Jimmy broke bolts 

Just to get himself out from under 

When you feel like you're lying in a prison cell 

It'll kind of make you wonder 

And he'll say, "It's destiny we met 

The simple truth is always the best 

Don't you see what's done is done 

And there's somebody for everyone" 

Everyone 

I used to get drunk to get my spark 

And it used to work just fine 

And it made me wretched but it gave me heart 

I miss Jimmy like I miss my wine 

Jimmy as if you didn't know by now 

Let me tell you a thing or two 

Everybody might have someone 

But everyone falls in love with you 

Everyone falls in love with you 

Everyone falls in love with you 

He'll say, "You get just what you get 

The simple truth is always the best 

Don't you see what's done is done? 

And there's somebody for everyone" 

Everyone falls in love with you 

You talk about now 

You talk about now 

You talk about now 

Can you talk about now? 

C'mon, baby 

You talk about now
