  • There she goes and knows I'm dying
    When she says, "Who is Johnny?"
    Games with names that girl is playing
    All she says is, "Who is Johnny?"

    I try to understand because I'm people too
    And playing games is part of human nature
    My heart's in overdrive
    It's great to be alive

    "Who's Johnny?" she said
    And smiled in her special way
    "Johnny," she said
    "You know I love you"
    "Who's Johnny?" she said
    And tried to look the other way
    Eyes gave her away, all right

    She makes sure, I see her teasing
    Hear her say, "Who is Johnny?"
    There's no way to take this easy
    Hear her say, "Who is Johnny?"

    I really couldn't help but fall in love with her
    Her being there has made my life worth living
    I knew it from the start
    That I would lose my heart

    "Who's Johnny?" she said
    And smiled in her special way
    "Johnny," she said
    "You know I love you"
    "Who's Johnny?" she said
    And tried to look the other way
    Still pretending

    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?" oh
    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?" oh, no, no, no
    I don't believe it
    "Who's Johnny?" she said
    And tried to look the other way
    Eyes gave her away

    (Girls like her) are very special
    Girls (like her) don't rest
    'Til you too are a believer
    'Til you too have caught their fever

    "Who is Johnny?"

    There she goes and knows I'm dying
    When she says, "Who is"
    "Who's Johnny?" she said
    And smiled with some other guy
    "Johnny," she said
    "I don't remember"
    "Who's Johnny?" she said
    And turned the other way
    Eyes gave her away

    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?"
    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?" she said, "I don't remember"
    "Who's Johnny?" she said and turned the other way
    Left me standing there

    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?"
    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?"
    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?"
    Left me standing there

    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?"
    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?"
    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?"

    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?"
    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?"
    "Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?"
