"Joanna" lyrics

Some came to spy, some came to look
They didn't believe me 'til they saw you dance
The warrior hung his bows and arrows on the wall
Just like me he was looking for romance
But you didn't change
Or bend the rules
You told your friends to keep it cool
And that's why

Joanna
You were always number one
Though some others tried to run
You beat them all
Joanna
You put me back where I belong
I'm the singer and this song is just for you

When I drove you out that fateful night
Talking experience like some older man
And you said if I see him, well, I'll surely die
Well, my heart sank but the car drove off
When we stopped, you blew me a kiss
And that's when I knew that you were his

Joanna
It's another sleepless night
I can dream but I can't fight to get you back
I'm gonna heed the writing on the wall
But these words are just too small to bring you back

So dream, dream
Whatever you see
It will come to you
It will come to you
But if it fails, love goes on sale
I will run to you
I will run to you

See, honey I, I'm always around
I carry the torch
Yeah, I lift the crown
And I'll never let you down

Ayy, Joanna
If we wander and meet again
Treat me kind and like a friend and get on home
Joanna
You put me back where I belong
I'm the singer and this song is just for you

Remember what the driver said
What's important's up ahead
What's behind's already dead
Dead and gone
Don't you change
And stay the same
Whatever happens, baby, life goes on
