Lets Do It For Johnny lyrics

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Joey got married
I should've known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah - I'd always wanna be there

I used to see you every morning
Even when I didn’t want to
You used to like to watch us play downtown
As long as I sang a song for you

[chorus]
But nothing stays the same
And it’s driving me insane
Oh, you know we’ve got it so bad
And nothing you can say
Can make me want to stay
But still your hanging on

You say you never saw this comin’
So why does it always fall on you

I was the one who had shit for brains I never took the time to notice that I was always wrong and you weren't
You were the one who gave up so many things
Took you for granted But you understanded It was just a phase

[bridge]
And I've got a new direction
A blueprint for erection of a new life
It's such a simple situation
Some kind of masturbation
With a new twist I don't know why

Back there somewhere
I can hear her calling out
I’ve got so much I can tell her
She knows I miss her,
I know she thinks about me too
I just cannot wait to kiss her

[bridge]
On the boulevard we danced
I tell her if I get the chance
Just what all this means to me
Maybe I should say we can run away
Never look back
Never doubt it

[chorus]
You don’t owe me anything
I owe everything to you

Here she comes again with another boyfriend,
introduces me and says,
“this is the sweetest guy I’ve ever known.”
Couldn’t say a word. I never say a word.
She wraps her arms around my neck.
“You are the sweetest guy I’ve ever known.”

And I say again “THIS IS THE LAST TIME”

[chorus]
When you left before I didn’t care too much
Cause I just wished you’d go away

He got up this morning
Rolled out of bed
And went out to change the world
Her head on his shoulder
he settles her down
It all started over and over again

His mom made him breakfast
Gets on the bus goes out to see the world
He lies on the ground, wipes blood from his nose
Wonders why he’s the one that doesn’t fit in

[chorus]
The pictures he drew
But if only they told him

All I needed was an answer
i didn’t ask for nothin more
and she said, “just leave your jacket at the door”
and we were locked inside
again it started her we go
if you can help me let me know.

So she asked if I could stay there
and I say we’ve been through this before
and she said “just tell me, what do you expect
here”
and we were locked inside
and it started here we go

She got a valentine from Gary
I opened it up it said, Would you please be mine.
I gave her flowers and some candy, YEA!
She opened them up and said, You're trying to make me fat.

Now I just want a new girlfriend
Yea I just want someone to make me laugh
I just want a new girlfriend
Yea I just want someone to laugh at me

Not to smart, not to tall
Likes to watch TV and play basketball

Everybody knows if you’ve got the coolest clothes
You’ve got everybody on your side
Anyone can see if you hang around with me
You’ll be by yourself on Friday night

[chorus]
It’s hard to understand
If you never lose you never learn to want to win
When it all comes down
All around you now
Don’t let it bring you down

You had all the moves you had all the coolest doos

Is it OK if I speak to you today
You’ve been pissed off for a week now
but, nothing I can say could make you look up.
or crack up. Is there anything that I can do
Anything to show you

[chorus]
You’re a bitch
but, I love you anyway
OH OH You can’t sing
But, you still put me to sleep
Baby, You’re a bitch
Hey Hey Hey Hey
You make me sick
But, don’t ever go away

What’s it mean to be alone now
How’s it feel to be by yourself
You got me, I didn’t get you back
then you got me, again

[chorus]
You got inside through a hold in my defenses
and how you fit I’ll never understand
but you got into me, and I got into you
and now, I wanna do it again

How’s it feel to know now
whatcha think ‘bout that
you got me, now we can’t go back

I don't know
When it all began to simmer down
And suddenly I don't want you around
And I'm sittin' here
I drownin' in the worries and the fear
And now I wish it wasn't quite as clear

Cause I am
Starting to forget now
It disappears so fast
I'm waiting for the Question to be asked
And if ya saw me now
You'd not be disappointed

So now I've gotten to a point
I'm not ever coming back

Lately I feel so small
Or maybe it’s just that my bed has grown
I never noticed it before
But you were there
So how was I to know

That this single bed
Was always meant for two
Not just anyone
It was meant for
Me and you

And now you’re half-way round the world
And I’m just a day behind
Nothing seems to fill the hole
That I have since you left my side
You'll always be my little girl
