Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jimmy is married and he lives down south
And his wife lives somewhere colder
Sees another woman in a badlands town
And she cries upon his shoulder
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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"
[Verse 3]
Jimmy has debts and Jimmy has ties
That he can't get out from under
And if you look far enough into his eyes
Oh, it'll rock you just like thunder
[Verse 4]
Jimmy broke locks and Jimmy broke bolts
Just to get himself out from under
When you feel like you're laying in a prison cell
And it'll kind of make you wonder
[Chorus]
And he'll say, "It's destiny we met
The simple truth is always the best
And on't you see, what's done is done?
And there's somebody for everyone"
[Bridge]
Everyone
[Verse 5]
Well, 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
[Verse 6]
Oh, 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
[Chorus]
He'll say, "You get just what you get
The simple truth is always the best
And don't you see, what's done is done?
And there's somebody for everyone"
[Outro]
Everyone
Falls in love
With you
They talk about love
They talk about love
You talk about love
You talk about love
And you talk about love
You talk about love
They talk about love
They talk about love
You talk about love
You talk about love
Talk about love
They talk about love
And you talk about love
Come on, baby
Talk about love
