| I read the paper and I hear the news
|
| I search the heavens vainly for clues
|
| Where has he gone to and where can he be?
|
| I need someone, we need someone
|
| Come back, Jimmy Dean
|
| Yesterday morning, I read in the Times
|
| Things cost a dollar that once cost a dime
|
| And everyone’s lonely 'cause everyone’s free
|
| I need someone, we need someone
|
| Come back, Jimmy Dean
|
| All our loves are loved and lost
|
| Our hearts all hung with rust
|
| All the golden birds and lads all, must
|
| Like chimney sweeps, come to dust
|
| I’ll pour a drink, adjust my TV
|
| And stare at the shadows stare out at me
|
| I have no expectations, oh but occasionally
|
| I need someone, you were someone
|
| Come back, Jimmy Dean
|
| I need someone, you were someone
|
| Please come back, Jimmy Dean |
