Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She saw the look in his eyes
And she knew better
He wanted her tonight
And it was now or never
He made her feel so sad
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, Jamie's cryin'
Oh, oh, oh, Jamie's cryin'
[Verse 2]
Now Jamie wouldn't say alright
She knew he'd forget her
And so they said goodnight
Oh and now he's gone forever
[Verse 3]
She wants to send him a letter, yeah-yeah
Just to try to make herself feel better
It said give me
Give me a call sometime
But she knows what that'll get her
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh Jamie's cryin'
Oh, oh, oh Jamie's cryin'
[Verse 4]
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, whoa
[Verse 5]
She wants to send him a letter, yeah-yeah
Just to try to make herself feel better
It said give me
Give me a call sometime
But she knows what that'll get her
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, Jamie's cryin'
Oh, oh, oh, Jamie's cryin'
Oh, oh, oh, Jamie's cryin'
Oh, oh, oh, Jamie's cryin'
Oh, oh, oh, Jamie's cryin'
