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
