Johnny Johnny
By Iwasnearlythere
Lyrics by Teresa Louise Hayward & Miroslav Radović
As if you owned the evening air.
You tipped the band to play in G,
Then missed the turn to minor key.
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the trick behind that grin,
But play the break — I'll count you in!
[Chorus]
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
I don't wanna be lonely!
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
Don't you say I'm your only!
Your suit's secondhand,
Your stories are too,
You dance far better than you tell the truth!
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
I don't wanna be lonely!
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
I don't wanna be lonely!
[Verse 2]
At two o'clock the band took five,
You kept their little beat alive.
You tapped a spoon against your glass,
I stole the rhythm as you passed.
[Pre-Chorus]
You miss the beat, I make it swing,
Who said the girl can't lead this thing?
[Chorus]
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
I don't wanna be lonely!
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
Don't you say I'm your only!
Your suit's secondhand,
Your stories are too,
You dance far better than you tell the truth!
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
I don't wanna be lonely!
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
I don't wanna be lonely!
[Bridge]
Don't make me promises at three,
They always sound too good in G.
When morning takes the sax away,
We'll see what you have left to say!
[Final Chorus]
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
I don't wanna be lonely!
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
Don't you say I'm your only!
Your suit's secondhand,
Your stories are too,
You dance far better than you tell the truth!
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
I don't wanna be lonely!
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
I don't wanna be lonely!
