Who's Johnny Lyrics

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 [Chorus:] "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 Her eyes gave her away 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 [Chorus] Still pretending Who's Johnny Who's Johnny Who's Johnny Who's Johnny "Who's Johnny? " she said And tried to look the other way Her eyes gave her away Girls like her are very special Girls like her don't rest 'Till you too are a believer 'Till you too have caught their fever There she goes and knows I'm dying When she says "Who is Johnny? " [Chorus: to fade]
