Lyrics
The Outsiders
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.
Johnny be lost
Johnny be cold
Walk away
Don't jump the gun
Counting the cost
Thinking it through
Making your own way
Making your own rules
Don't believe
A word they say
Johnny be cool, yeah
Johnny because
Just the two of us
Making fools of us
Just the two of us
On our feet again
Kicking our heels again
Just the two of us
Nothing to lose
So nothing gets lost
We measure the truth
They measure the cost
Too much choice
Is no choice at all
In our universe
There's just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Making fools of us
Making fools of us
On our feet again
We're kicking our heels again
The two of us
