[00:00.00] Craig David - Johnny
[00:03.61] Album: The Story Goes
[00:09.41][00:13.76][04:15.36][04:18.62]
[00:14.73] It's another day at school
[00:16.01] And he's just walking out the door
[00:17.79] Got his rucksack on his back
[00:19.30] And his feet dragging on the floor
[00:21.18] Always late for when he's questioned
[00:22.78] He can't think of what to say
[00:24.56] Hides the bruises from the teachers
[00:26.15] Hoping that they go away
[00:27.80] Even though his mom and dad
[00:29.24] They both got problems of their own
[00:31.10] Caught a catch at 22
[00:32.47] But he'd still rather be at home
[00:34.31] Cries himself to sleep and prays
[00:35.94] When he wakes up things might have changed
[00:37.81][01:50.38] But everything's still the same
[00:40.35][01:52.98] But didn't you say
[00:42.13][01:54.61][02:34.19] You always said that I should speak up hmm
[00:46.64][01:59.18] But it seems like all the things
[00:48.42][02:00.95] You said to me before meant nothing at all
[00:52.30][02:04.85][02:57.90] Because
[00:54.76][02:07.32][03:00.02][03:26.58][03:52.94] I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
[00:57.67][02:10.09][03:02.81][03:29.19][03:55.49] That's why I'm late for school
[00:59.89][02:12.41][03:05.12][03:31.69][03:58.00] (But you never listen)
[01:01.42][02:13.94][03:06.60][03:33.00][03:59.47] Instead you always seem to end up blaming me
[01:04.23][02:16.70][03:09.45][03:35.85][04:02.10] For things I didn't do
[01:06.67][02:19.15][03:11.85][03:38.15][04:04.77] (For what it's worth)
[01:08.00][02:20.47][03:13.25][03:39.69][04:05.96] I didn't even want to tell you anything
[01:10.86][02:23.36][03:16.06][03:42.50][04:08.79] In case it made things worse
[01:13.39][02:25.90][03:18.59][03:44.99][04:11.14] (Just so you know)
[01:14.62][02:27.20][03:19.92][03:46.40][04:12.71] Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me
[01:17.38][02:29.95][03:22.64][03:49.03] Hey mom and dad it hurts
[01:27.26] Every day keeps on repeating
[01:28.55] Like the record on replay
[01:30.32] Slowly getting off the bus
[01:31.92] With Johnny waiting at the gates
[01:33.65] Like a friend who will smile
[01:34.84] And wave at him or calling out his name
[01:36.92] Put his arm around his neck
[01:38.48] Whisper "now give me all your change!"
[01:40.25] To afraid to make a scene
[01:41.75] Or plea with him to letting go
[01:43.53] He just takes whatever's coming
[01:45.19] Feels the pain with every blow
[01:46.93] Tries in vain to make himself be heard
[01:48.74] As soon as he gets home
[02:38.89] And to never be afraid to come
[02:41.09] And tell you if I needed to talk
[02:44.98] (If I needed to talk, yeh)
[02:47.42] Well I don't know the meaning of love hmm
[02:51.90] 'Cos it seems like all the things you said to me
[02:54.96] Before meant nothing at all
[04:15.74]
