Johey! Lyrics
A Sunday dinner with my folks. (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
We're cracking up at Jerry's jokes. (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
We want to catch the evening sky. (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
I trace the sadness in your eyes. (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
Ooh, what's that you say? (Say)
This can't be true. (True)
You're moving away. (Away)
Might as well tear my heart in two. (Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo)
Heading off is on your mind. (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
You say a better life is there to find. (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
Please take me with you from my fancy school. (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
Ooh, ooh, look in my eyes. (Eyes)
What do you see? (See)
I'm not a child. (Child)
Why can't you leave it up to me?
Johey, (Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
I'm so afraid of being left behind.
Johey, (Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
Say that you'll wait.
My broken heart is crying.
My heart is crying.
(Doo, doo, doo, doo)
Then all the people gathered around. (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
They're gonna miss you in this town. (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
I can't breathe,
I'm choking back the tears. (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
Ooh, ooh, once in my life, (Life)
Ain't gonna hide. (Hide)
I know I'm right. (Right)
Gotta be strong enough to fight.
Johey, (Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
I'm so afraid of being left behind.
Johey, (Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
Say that you'll wait.
My broken heart is crying.
My heart is crying.
Johey, (Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
I'm so afraid of being left behind.
Jo-o-ohey, (Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
Say that you'll wait.
My broken heart is crying.
Johey (Johey)
Oh Johey,
I can't believe you're leaving me, Johey.
I mean, everything was so perfect.
So afraid, so afraid,
So afraid of being left.
Johey, (Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
I'm so afraid of being left behind.
Johey, (Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
Say that you'll wait.
My broken heart is crying.
Johey, (Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid.
Ohhh, ohhh. (Johey)
Johey, Johey, Johey. (Don't leave me lonely.)
Don't leave me lonely.
Don't leave me lonely.
(Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
Don't leave me weeping, oh.
Johey, don't leave me lonely.
Johey, don't leave me lonely.
Johey, don't leave me lonely.
We're cracking up at Jerry's jokes. (Doo, doo, doo, doo)

Say that you'll wait.
My broken heart is crying.
Johey, (Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid.
Ohhh, ohhh. (Johey)
Johey, Johey, Johey. (Don't leave me lonely.)
Don't leave me lonely.
Don't leave me lonely.
(Johey)
Don't leave me lonely. (Don't leave me lonely.)
Don't leave me weeping, oh.
Johey, don't leave me lonely.
Johey, don't leave me lonely.
Johey, don't leave me lonely.
