Johnny Johnny Ooh Ooh Lyrics

Do you have enough to fill a page?
Is there something I should read?
Amplifiers broke the news today
I was whispering the details
when the world came in
I've seen it before
wearing shimmering clothes
Is the world worth its spending?
Is that world worth me defending it?
How should I know?
There are calls to make with numbers I don't trust.

John, let me go!
I can't conjugate myself
If investigation fails, I'm on my own

When the coward sits alone again
When you've spent your feathers up
Making sense is made impossible
Making you detect my aim
And when I'm answering
I've seen this before
you are changing things
In a world that is borrowed
only fools with narrow minds can join
How should I know?
The calls I make have numbers I don't trust

John, let me go!
I can't conjugate myself
If investigation fails, I'm on my own

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
