Johnny Has Never Been...

Once there was a poor boy in every song

Once there was a poor boy in every song

Of love

Johnny wants to be in a song about pure love

But Johnny has never been in love

Johnny wants to know everything about pure love

But Johnny has never been in love

Johnny wants to be a character

In a movie about pure love

But Johnny has never been his own character

In his own loveless road

He needs to feel pure, he needs to be sure

That someone would like to sing with him

A song about, a song about, a song about pure love

Johnny wants to say a word about pure love

But Johnny has never been in love

Johnny wants to cry for losing a new pure love

But Johnny has never been in love

Johnny wants to write an immortal song about pure love

But Johnny has never been quite sure if it's possible to write even being alone

He needs to feel pure, he needs to be sure

That someone would like to sing with him

A song about, a song about, a song about pure love

Johnny, you are not alone

Well, in fact you are

But there are other people in this world

That are as lonely as you

So let's celebrate, Johnny!

Let's celebrate loneliness

Let's celebrate Johnny!

Let's celebrate people!

So let's celebrate, Johnny!

Let's celebrate loneliness

Let's celebrate Johnny!

Let's celebrate people!

Cause they need to be celebrated

Cause they need to feel tolerated

In every single way

Until now, Johnny hasn't found anyone

But every day in his head

He has a warmful company

Of a choir of pretty married people who sings

To be alive is to be in love

To be in love is not to be Johnny

To be alive is to be in love

So Johnny has never been

To be alive is to be in love

To be in love is not to be Johnny

To be alive is to be in love

So Johnny has never been

Alive
