You Don't Mess Around with Jim You Don't Mess Around with Jim is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Jim Croce, released in 1972.
What You Don't Do The song is a rhythm and blues[4] tune with Jazz and doo-wop[5][6] that grows slowly, and pinpoints the voice of the singer. The arrangement of the song takes a backseat, while the production has a "canned sound for the verses", before starting the choruses.[7] Horns, gospel-choir style supporting vocals, piano and brass complete the composition.[7][8] The song features truthfulness and wit proclaiming her confidence in her relationship, turning the negative phrase "What You Don't Do" into a positive slogan talking about games that the vocalist is not "forced to endure".[7]
