| Johnny’s standin' on the docks, starin' across the river
|
| Looks like ten million diamonds, glowin' in the night
|
| If he could throw a stone all the way to New York City
|
| He’d just keep throwin' stones till he put out every light
|
| Ooh, ooh, ooh
|
| But, that’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
|
| That’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
|
| That’s just how Johnny feels, tonight
|
| He knows she’s over there somewhere, in his heart he hopes she’s well
|
| Now he spits down in the water, sayin' she can go to hell
|
| She said she needed things that he could never give her
|
| Now there’s no love left here, on this side of the river
|
| Ooh, ooh, ooh
|
| But, that’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
|
| That’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
|
| That’s just how Johnny feels, tonight
|
| Don’t put a message in a bottle; |
| it’ll just keep comin' back to shore
|
| Don’t throw no pennies down the wishin' well; |
| dreams don’t come true here
|
| anymore
|
| Don’t bother waterin' the roses; |
| you’ll just be wastin' your time
|
| Don’t bother callin' up your sweetheart; |
| you’ll just be wastin' your dime
|
| But, that’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
|
| That’s just how Johnny feels, ooh, ooh
|
| That’s just how Johnny feels; |
| ooh, ooh, ooh, tonight
|
| That' how Johnny feels, tonight, that’s how Johnny feels
|
| That’s how Johnny feels, tonight
|
| That’s how Johnny feels, that’s how Johnny feels |
