lyrics

Jimmy said when he got married nothing was going to change
Jimmy said when he got older everything would stay the same
Jimmy said he would never stop hanging out with the crew
I expected more from Jimmy, but what are you going to do?

Saw Jimmy on the street today
He didn't even return my wave
He just turned around
turned around and walked away

Jimmy and I used to be friend
Saw him on the street now and then
but now he won't even talk to me
says I need to grow up just like him

Jimmy said when he got married nothing was going to change
Jimmy said when he got older everything would stay the same
Jimmy said he would never stop hanging out with the crew
I expected more from Jimmy, but what are you going to do?

I'm not bitter about that
that Jimmy won't talk or wave
but we used to be the same
now he puts me down for it

I understand the choice
I understand wanting to make a change
but to put down what you once were
that just makes you a hypocrite

Jimmy said when he got married nothing was going to change
Jimmy said when he got older everything would stay the same
Jimmy said he would never stop hanging out with the crew
I expected more from Jimmy, but what are you going to do?

But on the day Jimmy got married everything started to change
and when Jimmy got older nothing stayed the same
Overnight Jimmy changed stopped hanging out with the crew
but Jimmy was a hypocrite liar, what are you going to do?

Saw Jimmy on the street today
He didn't even return my wave
He just turned around
turned around and walked away

Jimmy and I used to be friend
Saw him on the street now and then
but now he won't even talk to me
says I need to grow up just like him

Jimmy said when he got married nothing was going to change
Jimmy said when he got older everything would stay the same
Jimmy said he would never stop hanging out with the crew
I expected more from Jimmy, but what are you going to do?
