About

“Oh Jim” showcases a conversation between Jim and the other inmate besides Caroline-presumably the Waterboy. There’s some speculation on who the Waterboy is exactly; there’s theories that it is actually an alter ego of Jim. If that’s true, he’s actually talking to himself in this song.

Oh, Jim Lyrics

[Part 1]
[Verse 1]
All your two-bit friends
They're shootin' you up with pills
They said that it was good for you
That it would cure your ills
I don't care just where it's at
I'm just like an alley cat

[Chorus]
And when you're filled up to here with hate
Don't you know you gotta get it straight
Filled up to here with hate
Beat her black and blue and get it straight

[Post-Chorus]
Do do, do do, do do
When you're lookin' through the eyes of hate

[Verse 2]
All your two-bit friends
They asked you for your autograph
They put you on the stage
They thought it'd be good for a laugh
But I don't care just where it's at
'Cause honey, I'm just like an alley cat

[Chorus]
And when you're filled up to here with hate
Don't you know you gotta get it straight
Filled up to here with hate
Beat her black and blue and get it straight
Uh-huh

[Part 2]
[Verse 3]
Oh, Jim
How could you treat me this way?
Hey, hey, hey
How'd you treat me this way?

[Verse 4]
Oh, Jim
How could you treat me this way?
Hey, hey
How'd you treat me this way?
You know you broke my heart
Ever since you went away

[Verse 5]
Now you said that you love us
But you only make love to one of us
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Jim
How could you treat me this way?
You know you broke my heart
Ever since you went away

[Outro]
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
