Jamie's Cryin'
Van Halen · Best Of Both Worlds [2004]
She saw the look in his eyes-And she knew better
He wanter her tonight-And it was now or never
He made her feel so sad
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin'
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin'
Now Jamie wouldn't say alright-She knew he'd forget her
And so they said goodnight-Oh and now he's gone forever
She wants to send him a letter-Yea Yea
Just to try to make herself feel better
It said gimme (gimme a call sometime)
But she knows what that'll get her
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin'
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin'
Now Jamie's been in love before-And she knows what love is for
It should mean-a little-A little more-Than one night stands
She wants to send him a letter-Yea Yea
Just to try to make herself feel better
It said gimme (gimme a call sometime)
But she knows what that'll get her
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin'
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin' (X4)
He wanter her tonight-And it was now or never
He made her feel so sad
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin'
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin'
Now Jamie wouldn't say alright-She knew he'd forget her
And so they said goodnight-Oh and now he's gone forever
She wants to send him a letter-Yea Yea
Just to try to make herself feel better
It said gimme (gimme a call sometime)
But she knows what that'll get her
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin'
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin'
Now Jamie's been in love before-And she knows what love is for
It should mean-a little-A little more-Than one night stands
She wants to send him a letter-Yea Yea
Just to try to make herself feel better
It said gimme (gimme a call sometime)
But she knows what that'll get her
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin'
Oh woa woa-Jamie's Cryin' (X4)
