Bette Midler - Come Back, Jimmy Dean lyrics

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 that 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.
