lyrics

Oh smell it in the air
you can almost really smell it in the air
ol johnny boy when we walked by

You rolled up your nose
and it wasn't something to be behold, no

and then one day he was walking down the street with his lady
one day, one day, he's walkin with his lady

and then one day,
she's gone!
nowhere to be seen,
I was really likin her and she's not here no more
I was really likin her and she's not near no more

Don't think Ol Johnny boy will be seein no more
sure doesn't look like it to me, hehe...
come on home miss, you're always welcome

(Ol Johnny's Lady)
I packed my bags just the other day
I sat on the bed and it stabbed me in the face,
I walked the stairs and i opened the door,
and I
Fell to the floor

I am not to be found no
Do not come looking for me
I don't want to be found
by you

The man in the store he gave me the pack x2
I try, and I swear to God,
But maybe I shouldn't even be doing that sort of thing
No maybe I shouldn't even be doing that sort of thing

He's on to me!!!

And he's watching over my shoulder.
