Johnny One Time

Brenda Lee, 1969

So he told you that you're the dream he's been searching for,
And he told you he'd never met anyone like you before,
And I can hear him telling you your lips taste just like sherry wine,
Did he tell you he's known as Johnny One Time?

REFRAIN:
Did he tell you that your heart will soon become another trinket on his
bracelet of broken hearts?
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you patching up your
shattered pride and searching for the missing parts?
Did he tell you the special love you're saving will disappear in flames of
shame like mine.
Did he tell you he's known as Johnny One Time?

So he told you he'd never lead your heart astray
And he told you he was gonna love you forever and a day
And I can hear him telling you that he's the shy and bashful kind.
Did he tell you he's known as Johnny One Time?
