JOHNNY DARLIN'
(Eddie Curtis)

as recorded by Connie Francis
1962


Johnny darlin', I've been waitin' here on you,
Johnny darlin', I've been waitin' here on you,
You're five minute late and I'm already feelin' blue!

Johnny darlin', stop a-tellin' me those lies,
Right now, Johnny darlin', stop a-tellin' me those lies,
You got lipstick on your collar and a funny look in your eyes!

You tell me I'm the only one that you love,
And then you sing sweet songs to me,
But maybe you've been singin' to a new love
And Johnny, that's no way to be!

Johnny darlin', you'd better make up your mind, yeah yeah yeah!
Johnny darlin', you'd better make up your mind,
You'd better play it straight or I'm movin' on down the line!
Talk to me now, Johnny!

You tell me I'm the only one that you love,
And then you sing sweet songs to me,
But maybe you've been singin' to a new love
And Johnny, that's no way to be!

Well now Johnny darlin', you'd better make up your mind,  yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Johnny darlin', you'd better make up your mind,
You'd better play it straight or I'm movin' on down the line!
I mean, you'd better play it straight or I'm movin' on down the line!
One more time now,
You'd better play it straight or I'm movin' on down the line...
