Jamie's Cryin' Lyrics
N' she knew better
He wanted her tonight
And it was now or never
He made her feel so sad
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's cryin'
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's cryin' Now Jamie wouldn't say all right
She knew he'd forget her
N' so they said ah-good night
Oh, and now he's gone forever
Uh, just to try to make herself feel better
It said "Gimme (Gimme a call sometime)"
But she knows what that'll get her
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's cryin'
And she knows what love is for (Ahh-ahh)
It should mean a little, a little more (Ahh-ahh)
Than one night stands. Woo!
Just to try to make herself feel better
It said "Gimme (Gimme a call sometime)"
But she knows what that'll get her Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's cryin'
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's cryin'
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's cryin'
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's cryin'

Actually, look at the lyrics, Jamie WOULDN'T say alright. And now he's gone forever. She refused his advances, he decided she wasn't worth it as a result, and now she regrets that she lost him.
yea that's what wikipedia says. they meet one night, he wants pussy, she wants him, she's like, "ok, a one-night stand will just make it worse" so she says no, but she's sad anyways cuz she still likes him

@Pirtyfool22 Yep, you are correct.

She wanted a relationship and he wanted sex. She said no to sex and he said goodbye. She's torn because she really wants to be with him in a relationship but he's only after sex. If she calls him she knows thats all she can ever hope to have so she doesn't. Pretty simple.

This is A Good Van Halen Song And VH Rules All

I think the songs about a girl whose going out with a guy who's gonna leave her unless she puts out.

when i first heard this song i thought it was about rape. but it kind of seems like when you have friends with benefits and you have sex..and it didnt mean anything to the other person but since you guys have been "fooling around" you get attached to them and end up actually liking them, and it really meant something to you. and i think thats jamie, and she feels sad. it could also be about a girl who was pressured to put out or the guy would leave her.

Les,
I'm pretty sure she gave it up already and he left her.

I think Dcat is right. She is in love with a guy, but the guy only wants sex from her. When she refuses to continue to sleep with him, he leaves her. She still cares for him, hoping that he will call or write, but deep down she knows that he would never do so. Read the lyrics again and you see what i mean.

I go around for days humming the tune to this song.

SRV Blues got it.
Alex has said that this is his least favourite Van Halen song. Maybe he never actually played the drums for, or heard any song from Van Halen III =D

Girl confuses lust for love and sleeps around but cries when everything turns into a one night stand instead of actual love and can't figure out what's wrong with her.
@kierra I agree with this assessment of the song. She's looking for love, and is willing to bend the rules, (hers and societies rules) for that elusive thing called love, but every single time she does, it ends with her alone and crying.
