Johnny Lyrics - Story Goes - Craig David

It's another day at school 

And he's just walking out the door 

Got his rucksack on his back 

And his feet dragging on the floor 

Always late for when he's questioned 

He can't think of what to say 

Hides the bruises from the teachers 

Hoping that they'd go away 

Even though his mum and dad 

They both got problems of their own 

Caught in a catch-22 

But he'd still rather be at home 

Cries himself to sleep and prays 

When he wakes up things might have changed 

But every thing's still the same

(But didn't you say) 

You always said that I should speak up 

But it seems like all the things you said to me 

Before meant nothing at all, because 

I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me 

That's why I'm late for school 

(But you never listen) 

Instead you always seem to end up 

Blaming me for things I didn't do 

(For what it's worth) 

I didn't even want to tell you anything 

In case it made things worse 

(Just so you know) 

Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me 

Hey mom and dad it hurts 

Everyday keeps on repeating 

Like the record on replay 

Slowly getting off the bus 

With Johnny waiting at the gates 

Like a friend who'll smile or wave 

At him while calling out his name 

Put his arm around his neck, whisper 

"Now give me all your change" 

Too afraid to make a scene 

Or plea with him to let him go 

He just takes whatever is coming 

Feels the pain with every blow 

Tries in vain to make himself be heard 

As soon as he gets home 

But every thing's still the same 

(But didn't you say) 

You always said that I should speak up 

But it seems like all the things you said to me 

Before meant nothing at all, because 

I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me 

That's why I'm late for school 

(But you never listen) 

Instead you always seem to end up 

Blaming me for things I didn't do 

(For what it's worth) 

I didn't even want to tell you anything 

In case it made things worse 

(Just so you know) 

Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me 

Hey mom and dad it hurts 

You always said that I should speak up 

And to never be afraid to come 

And tell you if I needed to talk 

(If I needed to talk, yeah) 

Well I don't know the meaning of love 

'Cause it seems like all the things you said to me 

Before meant nothing at all, because 

I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me 

That's why I'm late for school 

(But you never listen) 

Instead you always seem to end up 

Blaming me for things I didn't do 

(For what it's worth) 

I didn't even want to tell you anything 

In case it made things worse 

(Just so you know) 

Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me 

Hey mom and dad it hurts 

I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me 

That's why I'm late for school 

(But you never listen) 

Instead you always seem to end up 

Blaming me for things I didn't do 

(For what it's worth) 

I didn't even want to tell you anything 

In case it made things worse 

(Just so you know) 

Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me 

Hey mom and dad it hurts 

I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me 

That's why I'm late for school 

(But you never listen) 

Instead you always seem to end up 

Blaming me for things I didn't do 

(For what it's worth) 

I didn't even want to tell you anything 

In case it made things worse 

(Just so you know) 

Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me 

Hey mom and dad it hurts
