He told me to close my eyes
There's so many ways our lives have changed
There's so many ways our lives have changed
And I don't want this world to shine
There's too many ways that you can kill someone
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Oh, Johnny, do you miss me?
Before that special occasion, 1963
I saw tears were in his eyes
Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
He used to think of her
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
I just want to feel for you
I don't want this bridge to burn
I will always feel for you
Johnny, you keep on using me
She used to think of him
He used think of me
I used to think of him
I saw hatred in his eyes
He said I bought it for you because I love you
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I just want you to be mine
Johnny came home with another wife
I will always feel for you
I will always feel for you
But he never meant to hurt me
And though he was ashamed that he had took a life
And he often remembered how it used to be
He never meant to hurt me
To think of me at this point in time
Can I save my life at any price?
He was so very nice, he was so very kind
And I bought it for you 'cause it's your birthday too
Like in a love affair when the love has gone
Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
My gift would be a great surprise
For God's sake, won't you listen to me?
Can I change my life for any price?
