These two sung by Billie Holiday were pretty disturbing - JIM by Shawn, Petrillo, Ross and Samuels Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers Jim doesn't try to cheer my lonely hours Don't know why I'm so crazy for Jim. Jim never tells me I'm his heart's desire I never seem to set his love afire Gone are the years I've wasted on him. Sometimes when I get feelin' low I saw let's call it quits Then I hang on and let him go breaking my heart in bits Someday I know that Jim will up and leave me But even if he does you can believe me I'll go on carrying the torch for Jim. ----- MY MAN - Pollac,Yvain,Willemetz,Charles It cost me a lot But there's on thing that I've got It's my man It's my man Cold or wet Tired, you bet All of this I'll soon forget With my man. He's not much on looks He's no hero out of books But I love him Yes, I love him. Two or three girls has he That he likes as well as me But I love him. I don't know why I should He isn't true He beats me too What can I do? Oh, my man, I love him so He'll never know All my life is just despair But I don't care When he takes me in his arms The world is bright All right. What's the difference if I say I'll go away When I know I'll come back on my knees someday? For whatever my man is I'm his forevermore. ------ Yikes!
