Goodmorning ☀️🎶

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: April 8, 1986

Lyrics:

There she goes and knows I'm dying

When she says, "who is Johnny?"

Games with names that girl is playing

All she says is

(Who is Johnny?)

I try to understand because I'm people too

And playing games is part of human nature

My heart's in overdrive

It's great to be alive

"Who's Johnny?" She said

And smiled in her special way

"Johnny, " she said

"You know I love you"

"Who's Johnny?" she said

And tried to look the other way

Eyes gave her away, all right

Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa, oh, yeah

She makes sure, I see her teasing

Hear her say

(Who is Johnny?)

There's no way to take this easy

Hear her say

(Who is Johnny?)

I really couldn't help but fall in love with her

Her being there has made my life worth living

I knew it from the start

That I would lose my heart

"Who's Johnny?" she said

And smiled in her special way

"Johnny, " she said

"You know I love you"

"Who's Johnny?" she said

And tried to look the other way

Still pretending

Oh

(Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?) Oh, no, no, no

I don't believe it

"Who's Johnny?" She said

And tried to look the other way

Eyes gave her away

are very special

Girls (like her) don't rest

('Til you, too) 'til you, too, are a believer

'Til you, too, have caught their fever

There she goes and knows I'm dying

When she says, "who is"

(Who i-, who-who i-)

"Who's Johnny?" she said

And smiled in her special way

"Johnny, " she said

"You know I love you"

"Who's Johnny?" she said

And tried to look the other way

Eyes gave her away

That girl's pretending she can't remember my name

Oh, yeah

(Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny?) Oh, oh

Oh, I can't believe this

I hope this girl is only teasing

Who's Johnny?

She walked away with someone else

And left me standing there

DeBarge ✧ Stay With Me ✧ In A Special Way (1983)

[chaptertwo-thepacnw]

debarge, rhythm of the night |1985|

[topromoteme]

A friend of mine sent me a letter I sent them in 1984. I don’’t remember knowing what rhythm was/is, but I love reading what music I enjoyed back then. I was 16 probably just 7 days shy of my 17th birthday when I wrote this.

Apparently I liked Jazz and 1920s and 1940s music too.

Lol … I was all over the place. I guess I am the “Same as I ever was.”
