Brenda Lee - 1969

So he told you that you're the dream that he's been searching for
And he told you that he'd never met anyone like you before
And I can hear him telling you your lips taste just like sherry 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 bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will 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 of shame like mine
Did he tell you that he's known 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 the 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 will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
And did he tell you that the morning sun will 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 of shame like mine
Oh, did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time.

Did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Oh, did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time.
