Johnny One Time

Brenda Lee

(A.L. Owens/Dallas Frazier)



Peaked at #41 on April 12, 1969



So he told you that you're the dream

That he's been searching for

And he told you, he's never met

Someone like you before



And I can hear him telling you

Your lips taste just like cherry wine

But did he tell you

That he's known as JOHNNY ONE TIME



Did he tell you that your heart

Would soon become another trinket

On his bracelet of broken heats



Did he tel;l you that the morning sun

Would find you patching up your shattered pride

And searching for the missing parts



Did he tell you that the special love you're saving

Will disappear in flames

Shaped like mine



Did he tell you

That he's Know as

JOHNNY ONE TIME



So he told you

That he'd never lead your heart astray

And he told you that he'd love you

Forever and a day



And I can hear him telling you

That he's a shy and bashful kind

But did he tell you that he's known as

JOHNNY ONE TIME



Oh did he tell you that your heart

Would soon become another trinket

On his bracelet of broken heats



Did he tel;l you that the morning sun

Would find you patching up your shattered pride

And searching for the missing parts



Did he tell you that the special love you're saving

Will disappear in flames

Shaped like mine



Did he tell you

That he's Know as

JOHNNY ONE TIME
