And now the mellow sounds of Jimmy Early

I meant you no harm, I never meant to make you cry
You were the only one I’ve ever loved in my life
And though it's hard for me to show it
I've got to let him know it 'cause darling I love you more each day
But the words got in my way

Oh, I meant you no harm and I would die
If you ever said goodbye, I love you, I love you
But I meant you no harm, I never, never meant to make you cry
You are the only one I’ll ever love in my life

Hold it, hold it, hold it, I can't do it
I can't do it no more, I can't sing no more sad songs

One two three hit me, bop be bop, bop be bop be deed bop
Bop be bop, Bass man, huh, come on up
One two three hit me, uh, sound good, yeah
Saxophone on the floor, one two three, hit it
Yeah, ow, uh, come on, horns hit it, uh, ah, yeah

Hey girl let's rock with Jimmy Early
Got a home in the hills, Mercedes Benz
Hot swimming pool, got lots of friends
Got clothes by the acre, credit to spare
I could wake up tomorrow and find nobody there
But Jimmy want more, Jimmy want more
Jimmy want, Jimmy want, Jimmy want more

Listen, Jimmy wanna rib, Jimmy wanna steak
Jimmy wanna piece of your chocolate cake
And more than all that Jimmy wants a raise, 'cause
Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got, Jimmy got, Jimmy got soul

Sooner or later the time comes around
For a man to be a man to take back his sound
I gotta do something to shake things up
I like Johnny Mathis but I can't do that stuff
'Cause Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got S O U L soul

I can't do rock
I can't do roll, what I can do baby is show my soul
'Cause Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul
'Cause Jimmy got, jimmy got, jimmy got soul
