Johnny was a good boy
But got messed up by the wrong crowd
Everybody liked him
And he made his mother proud
But Johnny had a habit
And it wasn't smoking crack
In the wrong place at the wrong time
He took a bullet in the back
Johnny was
Johnny was
Johnny was a gangster
Just 13 with a 45
He was living in a neighborhood where you fight to stay alive
Johnny wouldn't listen
He was told to get away
Now he's learned his lesson
Look what happens when you stay
Johnny was
Johnny was
Johnny was
Johnny was(R. Bateman, G. Horton, W. Stevenson, B. Holland)
They call me a playboy
As I'm making my rounds
Chasing the bright light
Of each night spot in town
Thought I never show it,
My heart's breaking in two
They call me a playboy
But I'm just lonesome for you
I once had a real love
That was when I had you
Now I'll never feel love
With somebody new
This false front I'm wearing
Is just to cover my blues
They call me a playboy
But I'm just lonesome for you
