James Taylor - Johnnie Comes Back lyrics

All last week and half of today

Johnnie has been a good little girl

Trying to keep her devils at bay

Watching her health return

But she always comes back for more

Hanging her head and banging my door

Johnnie comes back again

(Chorus)

I said, Johnnie remember

Oh Johnnie be good

"Please give me some medicine man"

Oh Johnnie comes back again

Where'd she get that tear in her eye

Whoever said she could leave me

Where'd she learn to say good-bye

She's been watching too much T.V.

She only shows up for meals

My medicine chest and my automobiles

Johnnie comes back again

- Chorus -

Me I'm just an evil demon

I'm playing on her weakness

Counting on her sickness

To bring her home again

To use me up and to rob me blind

I guess it shouldn't surprise me

Fighting and flashing like a fish on a line

My God, she must despise me

But she always comes back again

Now it won't be long 'til she's gone again

Johnnie comes back again

- Chorus -
