James Taylor — Johnnie Comes Back

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 some 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 some 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
