Biography:
Martha and the Vandellas were one of the most successful groups in the Motown roster during the 1960s and fully active from 1960 to 1972, performing at various times doo-wop, pop, rock and roll and soul.
The label's second most-successful all-female singing group after The Supremes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas were known for a churchier, more southern-styled soul than the Supremes, as typified in Motown hits such as "(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave"

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?
Verse 1:
C F/C C F/C
My arms are missing you;
C F/C Dm7 G7
My lips feel the same way, too.
C F/C C F/C
I tried so hard to be true,

But this boy keeps coming around,

He's trying to wear my re-sistance down.

About three times a day.
C F/C C F/C
Now my heart's just listening to,

Keeps reaching out, to be his friend.

Trying hard, to be true,

But Jimmy; he talks just as sweet as you.
