Johnnie Comes Back Lyrics - Flag - James Taylor

All last week and half of today 

Johnnie has been a good little girl 

Trying to keep her devils at bay 

Watching her health return 

But she always comes back for more 

Hanging her head and banging my door 

Johnnie comes back again 

(chorus) 

I said, johnnie remember 

Oh johnnie be good 

"please give me some medicine man" 

Oh johnnie comes back again 

Where'd she get that tear in her eye 

Whoever said she could leave me 

Where'd she learn to say good-bye 

She's been watching too much t.v. 

She only shows up for meals 

My medicine chest and my automobiles 

Johnnie comes back again 

- chorus - 

Me I'm just an evil demon 

I'm playing on her weakness 

Counting on her sickness 

To bring her home again 

To use me up and to rob me blind 

I guess it shouldn't surprise me 

Fighting and flashing like a fish on a line 

My god, she must despise me 

But she always comes back again 

Now it won't be long 'til she's gone again 

Johnnie comes back again 

- chorus -
