Johnnie Comes Back

Lyrics

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 TV
 She only shows up for meals
 My medicine chest and my automobiles
 Johnnie comes back again
 I said, Johnnie remember
 Oh Johnnie, be good, be good now
 "Please give me my medicine, man, now"
 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, remember
 Oh Johnnie, be good, be good yeah
 "Please give me my medicine, man"
 Oh, my Johnnie comes back again and again and again
 Oh Johnnie remember, remember
 Johnnie, be good, be good
 Johnnie remember, remember
 Johnnie be good, no no no no
 Come back and abuse me
 Take my heart and use me
 Be careful baby never lose me
 'Cause it's out in the streets, no no no
 Johnnie be good, Johnnie be good
