Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
"Be-Bop-A-Lula", "Baby What I Say"
Here comes Johnny singing "I Gotta Woman"
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, do the walk of life
Yeah, he do the walk of life
Here comes Johnny, gonna tell you the story
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
The song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
Then he do the walk, he do the walk of life
Yeah, he do the walk of life
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
"Be-Bop-A-Lula", "Baby What I Say"
Here comes Johnny singing "I Gotta Woman"
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, yeah, you do the walk of life
Hmm, you do the walk of life

LYRICS  only dreamed that I would find A loving heart, an open mind to see the real me And I hoped that you would be the one A chance to talk, a chance to grow I'll take the risk, let my feelings flow I've found the words I need to say Suddenly you're seeing me just the way I am Suddenly you're hearing me So I'm talking just as fast as I can to you Suddenly every part of me needs to know every part of you Now I know that you are mine You bring me your love and peace of mind You see the real me and I know that you're the key Suddenly you're seeing me just the way I am Suddenly you're hearing me So I'm talking just as fast as I can to you Suddenly every part of me needs to know every part of you Suddenly you're seeing me just the way I am Suddenly you're hearing me So I'm talking just as fast as I can to you Suddenly, awkwardly You're all I want, all I need you to be Suddenly every part of me needs to know every part of you Just you,
