Craig David - Johnny |
|
Album: The Story Goes |
|
It's another day at school |
|
And he's just walking out the door |
|
Got his rucksack on his back |
|
And his feet dragging on the floor |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
