It's a sleepless night
she's calling your name
It's a lonely ride
I know how you want her
Again and again you're chasin' a dream
yeah
But Johnny my friend
she's not what she seems
Johnny
how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me
Straight ahead
a green light turns to red
Oh
why can't you see
oh
Johnny B?
And when you drive her home
is she sittin' real close?
Does she make you weak?
Well
that's the way that she wants you
You're strung out again
she's taken you over
You've been here before
why can't you let go?
Johnny
how much there is to see

And when she calls you name
my sweet Johnny
you can drive all night and vou know she'll be waiting
To love you again
her kiss is her poison
Forever inside you
wherever you go
Johnny
how much there is to see
Johnny
how much there is to see

Oh
can't you see
oh
Johnny B?
Oh
can't you see?
