I'd love to shout my feelin's from a mountain high   And tell the world I love her and I will till I die   There's no way the world will understand that love is color 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
