lyrics
Johnny tell me what's on your mind
Seasons changing right on time
Summer's fading, nights are cold
Will you stay now, or will you go
Johnny you've been here and gone
Do you wonder if we belong
You lift me up, then you bring me down
I'm getting tired of this merry-go-round
But I guess hearts in love just can't say goodbye
And the "meant to be" is gleaming in our eyes
But the "never will" is creeping up behind
Oh Johnny, won't you say what's on your mind
It's complicated, to say the least
If we both stay here, we must agree
That there's a reason, more than a rhyme
Johnny tell me that we've got time
But I guess hearts in love just can't say goodbye
And the "meant to be" is gleaming in our eyes
But the "never will" is creeping up behind
Oh Johnny, won't you say what's on your mind
