Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
There is a time for tears
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
You won't make it any better

Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
You might, well, make it worse
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
I advise you to forget her
Ooh Johnny, Johnny, ooh

You're not the first
Though it hurts

Johnny, Johnny, ooh
What are you twenty-one ?
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
Why don't you give it a rest?

Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
The world is a million
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
There can be no contest
Ooh, Johnny, Johnny, ooh

Life's not complete
Till your heart's missed a beat
And you'll never make it up
Or turn back the clock
