I hate you when you laugh at me like that
I said, "Do you work nice and steady
I found out, and I loved you all the same
Up the river and down to the sea
You going now? Oh, tell me why
Don't laugh at me no more, Johnny
I love you after all, Johnny, like that very first day
Till I packed up and went off with you
You got no heart, Johnny but oh, I love you so much
Surabaya Johnny, is it really the end?
You got no heart, Johnny but oh, I love you so much
And baby, how swell it's all gonna be"
Surabaya Johnny, will the hurt ever mend?
And I reach out my arms to hold you
Surabaya Johnny, will the hurt ever mend?
Take that pipe out of your mouth, Johnny
Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I burn at your touch
And you said, "I have a job on the railroad
You said a lot, Johnny it was all lies
Surabaya Johnny, is it really the end?
And some old woman looks back at me
Surabaya Johnny, will the hurt ever mend?
You're not here and who even cares?
And you told me to pack up my suitcase
You got no heart, Johnny you're just no good
But in every hotel on the seacoast
And it lasted two weeks until one day
You dragged me all over the city
You didn't want love, Johnny, you wanted money
Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I burn at your touch
You got no heart, Johnny but oh, I love you so much
Or do you go sailing and roving out to sea?"
I gave you all I had you wanted more
Why they called you that funny name
You sure had me fooled, right from the start
You laughed at me and hit me too
Thought at first you were kind and gentle
And I did and you took me away
Now I look at myself in the mirror
Surabaya Johnny, is it really the end?
Oh, don't look at me that way, I'm only trying to talk to you
The sea's pounding in my ears
Wipe that grin off your face, Johnny
I'm tired, I'm worn out
Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I burn at your touch
When we met I forgot to ask you
