Johnie Don't Go Away

Johnie, don't go away

Johnie, don't go away

Johnie, don't go 'cause you're hurting her so

And you know the girl wants to say

Johnie, don't go away

Johnie, don't go away

Johnie, don't go 'cause the people all know

'Bout the terrible game you play

Sharp as a needle, they are waiting in the darkness outside

You're feeling lonely, you're a loser and you just need to hide

Johnie won't ever come home

Johnie, don't go away

Johnie, don't walk away

Johnie, don't go when the fever burns slow

'Cause your life is the price you pay

Stay where it's safest, with your lover, she is all that she seems

Friends of the nighttime wanna hook you on a mainline of dreams

Don't you get caught by a lie

Sharp as a needle, they are waiting in the darkness outside

You're feeling lonely, you're a loser and you just need to hide

Johnie won't ever come home

Johnie, don't go away

Johnie, don't go away

Johnie, don't go where the city lights glow

And where everything turns to grey

Stay where it's safest, with your lover, she is all that she seems

Friends of the nighttime wanna hook you on a mainline of dreams

Don't you get caught by a lie

Sharp as a needle, they are waiting in the darkness outside

You're feeling lonely, you're a loser and you just need to hide

Johnie won't ever come home

Johnie, don't go away

Johnie, don't go away

Johnie, don't go away

Johnie, don't go away

Johnie, don't go
