Lyrics
Johnny One Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So he told you
That your the dream
That he's been searching for
And he told you
That he'd never met
Anyone like you before
And I can hear him telling you
Your lips taste just
Like cherry wine
But did he tell you
That he's known as
Johnny One Time?
Did he tell you that your heart
Would soon become another trinket on his bracelet
Of broken hearts?
Did he tell you that the morning sun
Would find you patching up your shattered pride and
Searching for the missing part
Did he tell you that the special love your saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you
That he's known as
Johnny One Time?
So, he told you
That he'd never lead
Your heart astray
And he told you
That he'd love you
Forever and a day
And I can hear him telling you
That he's the shy and bashful kind
But did he tell you
That he's known as
Johnny One Time?
Oh, Did he tell you that your heart
Would soon become another trinket on his bracelet
Of broken hearts
And did he tell you that the morning sun
Will find you patching up your shattered pride
And searching for the missing part
Did he tell you that the special love your saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Oh, Did he tell you
That he's known as
Johnny One Time?
Did he tell you that your heart
Would soon become another trinket on his bracelet
Of broken hearts?
Did he tell you that the morning sun
Will find you patching up your shattered pride
And searching for the missing part
Oh, did he tell you that the special love your saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as
Johnny One Time?
