Just look after yourself

lyrics

Just look after yourself

I tried to take your hand
And look you in the eyes
You said you couldn’t stay with just one man
For the remainder of your life
You’ve got so many things to do
And places yet to see
I wasn’t good enough for you
You were good enough for me

Just look after yourself don’t worry about me

I went down on my knees
And begged a second chance
We couldn’t sing in the same key
And I never learned to dance
When she planted her last kiss
It tasted bitter sweet
I wish it hadn’t come to this
But I walked away on two left feet

Just look after yourself don’t worry about me

You can’t go on this way losing all your friends
You may come back one day when you have no other better plans

You can’t go on this way using all your friends
If you aren’t here with me you will be in someone else’s hands

Just look after yourself don’t worry about me

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
