and the lyric...
Johnny
(vs)
Johnny likes to think he's a ladies man
an' now he's found another lady to play
A fake Rolex and a cruise ship tan
Am I supposed look the other way
I sent a text to all my friends
now they're knockin' on my door
they've come here to recommend
a few changes to our decor...
(ch)
O Johnny hasn't come home lately
I hear he found himself another pet
another poor sap who will call baby
for a ride in his old corvette
So the girls an' I are re-decoratin'
in a style that we call regret
(vs)
Remember that new dining set
Resting on the persian rug
it goes real well with the TV set
if you can find 'em underneath the mud
(vs)
The walls look good in vivid red
with the floors all painted black
a mirror used to hang above our bed
well now you see those ugly cracks
(ch)
Johnny hasn't come home lately
I hear he found himself another pet
another poor sap who will call baby
for a ride in his old corvette
So the girls an' I are re-decoratin'
in a style that we call regret
(vs)
the living room smells like someone died
an' the bathroom could use some work
But, it goes real nice with the pack of lies
from a wannabee Romeo jerk
(vs)
I'd pay good money to see his face
we really nailed his style
there are broken things all over the place
an' his clothes are in a burning pile
(ch)
Johnny hasn't come home lately
he found himself another pet
another poor sap who will call baby
for a ride in his old corvette
So the girls an' I are re-decoratin'
in a style we call regret
Johnny hasn't come home lately
he had a blonde and wants a brunette
well you might think i'm crazy
but honey, I ain't finished yet
