It's a sleepless night, she's calling your name,
It's a lonely ride, I know how you want her.
Again and again you're chasin' a dream, yeah,
But Johnny my friend, she's not what she seems.

Johnny B., how much there is to see,
Just open your eyes and listen to me.
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red,
Oh, why can't you see, oh, Johnny B.?

And when you drive her home, is she sittin' real close?
Does she make you weak? Well, that's the way that she wants you.
You're strung out again, she's taken you over,
You've been here before, why can't you let go?

Johnny B., how much there is to see,
Just open your eyes and listen to me.
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red,
Oh, why can't you see, oh, Johnny B.?

And when she calls your name, my sweet Johnny B.,
You can drive all night and you know she'll be waiting,
To love you again, her kiss is her poison,
Forever inside you, wherever you go.

Johnny B., how much there is to see,
Just open your eyes and listen to me.
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red,
Oh, why can't you see, oh, Johnny B.?

Johnny B., how much there is to see,
Just open your eyes and listen to me.
Straight ahead, a green light turns to red,
Oh, why can't you see, oh, Johnny B.?

Oh, can't you see, oh, Johnny B.?
Oh, can't you see?
