Lyrics
They call me Shifty Jim and I've
Been known to spend my time
Talking `bout Camilla,
How I cannot understand her,
How she first smiled at me,
Just as sweetly as can be
And said that her name was Camilla.
I said how nice it was to meet her.
Then she came on to me,
Like an incarnation of a dream --
She was my Camilla,
But I cannot understand her.
Was she an actress or am I a fool
Now that she's found another man?
She appears to me
To be as different as can me;
In fact she seems just like him,
And I cannot understand it.
The specter of her changing turned me a sorry shade of blue,
Now I can't stand myself `cept when I'm with you.
But time has made it clear
That I'm just hiding with you here;
I miss my Camilla,
And who I was when I was with her.
But I cannot understand her.
