Poor Johnny

Have a seat and I'll tell you a tale

It wasn't that long ago..

About a guy who turned out to be a cheater got the heater

So the story goes:

He tried the playboy-thing on two friends

Thinking that they'd never know

They say he got caught in a trap and it snapped

He's not around anymore...

Poor Johnny

He came home looking cool one day

Just wasn't lucky to come out that way

Once from the left... then from the right

They took him down, late that night

Now everyone in town knew he always played around

But not a word was said

All the money and the clothes

And the cars that he drove just kept his ego fed

To his friends he was king

Cause he thought of everything

Except his number one

She had the kids and the house

While he was always out

Leaving his homework undone

Poor Johnny

He came home looking cool one day

Just wasn't lucky to come out that way

Once from the left... then from the right

They took him down, late that night

Then one day his luck ran out

When number two found a number and called his house

Word on the street is that they talked all night

They had to teach him a lesson

They had to make things right

Poor Johnny

He came home looking cool one day

Just wasn't lucky to come out that way

Once from the left... then from the right

They took him down, late that night

Poor Johnny

He came home looking cool one day

Just wasn't lucky to come out that way

Once from the left... then from the right

They took him down, late that night

Poor Johnny

Poor Johnny

Poor Johnny

Poor Johnny
