craig david-johnny The Story Goes

马东东

It's another day at school
And he's just walking out the door
Got his rucksack on his back
And his feet dragging on the floor
Always late for when he's questioned
He can't think of what to say
Hides the bruises from the teachers
Hoping that they go away
Even though his mom and dad
They both got problems of their own
Caught a catch at 22
But he'd still rather be at home
Cries himself to sleep and prays
When he wakes up things might have changed
But everything's still the same
But didn't you say
You always said that I should speak up hmm
But it seems like all the things
You said to me before meant nothing at all
Because
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
That's why I'm late for school
(But you never listen)
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me
For things I didn't do
(For what it's worth)
I didn't even want to tell you anything
In case it made things worse
(Just so you know)
Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me
Hey mom and dad it hurts
Every day keeps on repeating
Like the record on replay
Slowly getting off the bus
With Johnny waiting at the gates
Like a friend who will smile
And wave at him or calling out his name
Put his arm around his neck
Whisper "now give me all your change!"
To afraid to make a scene
Or plea with him to letting go
He just takes whatever's coming
Feels the pain with every blow
Tries in vain to make himself be heard
As soon as he gets home
But everything's still the same
But didn't you say
You always said that I should speak up hmm
But it seems like all the things
You said to me before meant nothing at all
Because
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
That's why I'm late for school
(But you never listen)
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me
For things I didn't do
(For what it's worth)
I didn't even want to tell you anything
In case it made things worse
(Just so you know)
Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me
Hey mom and dad it hurts
You always said that I should speak up hmm
And to never be afraid to come
And tell you if I needed to talk
(If I needed to talk, yeh)
Well I don't know the meaning of love hmm
'Cos it seems like all the things you said to me
Before meant nothing at all
Because
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
That's why I'm late for school
(But you never listen)
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me
For things I didn't do
(For what it's worth)
I didn't even want to tell you anything
In case it made things worse
(Just so you know)
Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me
Hey mom and dad it hurts
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
That's why I'm late for school
(But you never listen)
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me
For things I didn't do
(For what it's worth)
I didn't even want to tell you anything
In case it made things worse
(Just so you know)
Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me
Hey mom and dad it hurts
