Lyrics
John is my friend, more like a brother.
John is my father, the love of my mother.
He ain't a man to show much emotion.
I try when I can to follow that notion.
Johnny come home, Johnny be good.
Johnny come lately, Johnny you could.
Johnny I plan, just so you know...
To be a real man...like Johnny O.
Johnny you showed me so many things.
You taught me to laugh, you told me to sing.
You showed me the mountain,
Showed me the plain,
We swam in the ocean, walked in the rain.
Johnny come home, Johnny be good
Johnny come lately, Johnny you could.
Johnny I plan, just so you know...
To be a real man, Like Johnny O.
