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 you're the dream that he's been searching for
And he told you that he's never met anyone like you before
And i can hear him telling you, your lips taste just like sherry wine
But did he tell you that he's known as johnny one time
Did he tell you that your heart will 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 parts?
Did he tell you that the special love you're 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
Did he tell you that your heart will 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 parts?
And did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine?
Did he tell you that he's known as johnny one time?
