Johnny

[00:19.0]And his feet dragging on the floor

[00:52.0]Because

[00:58.0]That's why I'm late for school

[01:07.0](For what it's worth)

作曲 : Craig David/Mark Hill

It's another day at school

And he's just walking out the door

Got his rucksack on his back

Always late for when he's questioned

He can't think of what to say

Hides the bruises from the teachers

Hoping that they go away

Even though his mom and dad

They both got problems of their own

Caught a catch at 22

But he'd still rather be at home

Cries himself to sleep and prays

When he wakes up things might have changed

But everything's still the same

But didn't you say

You always said that I should speak up hmm

But it seems like all the things

You said to me before meant nothing at all

I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me

(But you never listen)

Instead you always seem to end up blaming me

For things I didn't do

I didn't even want to tell you anything

In case it made things worse

(Just so you know)

Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me

Hey mom and dad it hurts

Every day keeps on repeating

Like the record on replay

Slowly getting off the bus

With Johnny waiting at the gates

Like a friend who will smile

And wave at him or calling out his name

Put his arm around his neck

Whisper now give me all your change!

To afraid to make a scene

Or plea with him to letting go

He just takes whatever's coming

Feels the pain with every blow

Tries in vain to make himself be heard

As soon as he gets home

But everything's still the same

But didn't you say

You always said that I should speak up hmm

But it seems like all the things

You said to me before meant nothing at all

Because

I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me

That's why I'm late for school

(But you never listen)

Instead you always seem to end up blaming me

For things I didn't do

(For what it's worth)

I didn't even want to tell you anything

In case it made things worse

(Just so you know)

Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me

Hey mom and dad it hurts

You always said that I should speak up hmm

And to never be afraid to come

And tell you if I needed to talk

(If I needed to talk, yeh)

Well I don't know the meaning of love hmm

'Cos it seems like all the things you said to me

Before meant nothing at all

Because

I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me

That's why I'm late for school

(But you never listen)

Instead you always seem to end up blaming me

For things I didn't do

(For what it's worth)

I didn't even want to tell you anything

In case it made things worse

(Just so you know)

Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me

Hey mom and dad it hurts

I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me

That's why I'm late for school

(But you never listen)

Instead you always seem to end up blaming me

For things I didn't do

(For what it's worth)

I didn't even want to tell you anything

In case it made things worse

(Just so you know)

Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me

Hey mom and dad it hurts

I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me

That's why I'm late for school

(But you never listen)

Instead you always seem to end up blaming me

For things I didn't do

(For what it's worth)

I didn't even want to tell you anything

In case it made things worse

(Just so you know)

Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me
