Surabaya Johnny Lyrics

Julie Wilson Surabaya Johnny

When we met I forgot to ask you

Up the river and down to the sea

I'm tired, I'm worn out

You got no heart, Johnny but oh, I love you so much

And some old woman looks back at me

Surabaya Johnny, will the hurt ever mend?

Don't laugh at me no more, Johnny

I gave you all I had you wanted more

Surabaya Johnny, will the hurt ever mend?

And I did and you took me away

Surabaya Johnny, is it really the end?

Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I burn at your touch

You sure had me fooled, right from the start

And I reach out my arms to hold you

Till I packed up and went off with you

I found out, and I loved you all the same

You didn't want love, Johnny, you wanted money

Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I burn at your touch

And you said, "I have a job on the railroad

Surabaya Johnny, will the hurt ever mend?

You said a lot, Johnny it was all lies

Oh, don't look at me that way, I'm only trying to talk
to you

And baby, how swell it's all gonna be"

Wipe that grin off your face, Johnny

You got no heart, Johnny you're just no good

I hate you when you laugh at me like that

I love you after all, Johnny, like that very first day

I said, "Do you work nice and steady

You going now? Oh, tell me why

Surabaya Johnny, is it really the end?

You laughed at me and hit me too

You're not here and who even cares?

Why they called you that funny name

You got no heart, Johnny but oh, I love you so much

And you told me to pack up my suitcase

You dragged me all over the city

But in every hotel on the seacoast

The sea's pounding in my ears

And it lasted two weeks until one day

Now I look at myself in the mirror

Surabaya Johnny, ooh, I burn at your touch

Surabaya Johnny, is it really the end?

Thought at first you were kind and gentle

Take that pipe out of your mouth, Johnny

You got no heart, Johnny but oh, I love you so much

Or do you go sailing and roving out to sea?"
