Craig David - Johnny Lyrics

[verse 1:]

It's another day at school and he's just walking out the door

Got his ruck sack on his back and his feet dragging on the floor

Always late but 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 in a catch 22 but he'd still rather be at home

Crys himself to sleep and prays when he wakes up things might have changed

But everythings still the same

(but didn't you say) you always said that i should speak up mmm....

But it seems like all the things you said to me before mean nothing at all

Because...

[chorus:]

I keep telling you that johnny's hitting me

Thats 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 incase it made things worse (just so you know)

Every time i say that johnny's hitting me

Hey mom and dad it hurts

[verse 2:]

Everyday keeps on repeating like the record on replay

Slowly getting off the bus with johnny waiting at the gates

Like a friend smiling and waiveing and called him out his name

Put his arm around his neck whats up now gimme all your change

Too afraid to make a scene or plead with him to let him go

He just takes whatevers coming feels the pain with every blow

Trys in vain to make himself be heard as soon as he gets home

But everythings still the same...

(but didn't you say) you always said that i should speak up mmm....

But it seems like all the things you said to me before mean nothing at all

Because...

[chorus:]

I keep telling you that johnny's hitting me

Thats 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 incase it made things worse (just so you know)

Every time i say that johnny's hitting me

Hey mom and dad it hurts

[bridge:]

You always said that i should speak up mmm...

And to never be afraid to come and tell you if i needed to talk (if i needed to talk yeah)

Well i don't know the meaning of love mmm...

Cause it seems like all the things you said to me before mean nothing at all

(mean nothing at all)

Because....

[chorus 3x (fade out):]

I keep telling you that johnny's hitting me

Thats 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 incase it made things worse (just so you know)

Every time i say that johnny's hitting me

Hey mom and dad it hurts
