irma jackson

i'd love to shout my feelin's from a mountain high

tell the world i love her and i will till i die

there's no way the world will understand that love is colour blind

that's why irma jackson can't be mine. i remember when no one cared about us bein' friends

we were only children and it really didn't matter then

but we grew up too quickly in a world that draws a line

where they say irma jackson can't be mine. if my lovin' irma jackson is a sin

then i don't understand this crazy world we're livin' in

there's a muddy wall between us standin' high

but i'll love irma jackson till i die

she tells me she's decided that she'll go away

and i guess it's right but she alone should have the final say

but in spite of her decision forcin' us to say goodbye

i'll still love irma jackson till i die. if my lovin' irma jackson is a sin

then i don't understand this crazy world we're livin' in

it's a muddy wall between us standin' high

but i'll love irma jackson till i die.
