All last week and half of today, Johnnie has been a good little girl.
|
Trying to keep her devils at bay, watching her health return.
|
But she always comes back for more, hanging her head and banging my door,
|
Johnnie comes back again.
|
I said, Johnnie remember, oh, Johnnie be good, "Please give me some medicine, man."
|
Oh Johnnie comes back again.
|
Where'd she get that tear in her eye?
|
Whoever said she could leave me, where'd she learn to say good-bye?
|
She's been watching too much T.V., she only shows up for meals,
|
my medicine chest and my automobiles. Johnnie comes back again.
|
I said, Johnnie remember, oh, Johnnie be good, "Please give me some medicine, man."
|
Oh Johnnie comes back again.
|
|
Me, I'm just an evil demon, I'm playing on her weakness,
|
counting on her sickness to bring her home again.
|
|
To use me up and to rob me blind, I guess it shouldn't surprise me.
|
Fighting and flashing like a fish on a line, my God, she must despise me.
|
But she always comes back again, now it won't be long 'til she's gone again,
|
Johnnie comes back again.
|
|
I said, Johnnie remember, oh, Johnnie be good, "Please give me some medicine, man."
|
Oh Johnnie comes back again.
