D-DU-UDU
Talking to death, crying on the telephone
The nights when he drinks at home
She has to whisper through her tears
Johnny, she says, could never do those things to me
But I could never make her see
Shes wasted such precious years
Well you married the wrong guy thats all I ever say
Hes a no good so and so
But shell never let him go, though she knows it will never work
She loves the jerk, she loves the jerk
He was the guy always out on the make
I guess he has what it takes
To turn the head of pretty girls
She thought he might change, the worst of us can settle down
But he couldnt stay out of town
Not even for this precious girl
So she lives with the lies and the bumps and the bruises
Bridge + Chorus
I hung up the phone and I pretend shes in my arms
What I wouldnt give for just one bit of what she gives Mr. Johnny
Bridge + Chorus (up 1 measure)
