lyrics

Johnny I could make you happy
Johnny I sure wanna try
tell me you're not getting married
tell me you're saying goodbye

look how I live in your world now
Johnny I don't ask for much
I keep my distance I know how
it feels every time we don't touch

thank god I'm wearing my glasses
I need some way to hide
I need something between us
when you get that look in your eye

thank god I don't know your number
I only know your name
I'm young and you do love her
Johnny - it's better this way

Johnny I could bring you trouble
what would people say
Johnny I could be your lover
Johnny I can start today

lightning's lit me already
thunder's too far off to hear
don't worry, I'll play the heavy
now keep saying things in my ear

thank god I haven't been drinking
thank god it's not a full moon
we've got no business being
the only ones in the room

thank god I don't know your number
I only know your name
I'm young and you do love her
Johnny - it's better this way
