Happy End movie - Surabaya Johnny lyrics

rate me

<br>

I was young, I was just sixteen then,<br>

when you came up from Burma one day.<br>

And you told me to pack up my suitcase,<br>

and I did, and you took me away.<br>

I said, "Do you work nice and steady,<br>

or do you go sailing and roving out to sea?"<br>

And you said, "I have a job on the railroad,<br>

and baby, how swell it's all gonna be."<br>

You said a lot, Johnny. It was all lies.<br>

You sure had me fooled, right from the start.<br>

I hate you when you laugh at me like that.<br>

Take that pipe out of your mouth, Johnny.<br>

<br>

Surabaya Johnny. Is it really the end?<br>

SurabayaJohnny. Will the hurt ever mend?<br>

Surabaya Johnny. Ooh, I burn at your touch.<br>

You got no heart, Johnny, but oh, I love you so much.<br>

<br>

Thought at first you were kind and gentle,<br>

'til I packed up and went off with you.<br>

And it lasted two weeks until one day<br>

you laughed at me and hit me too.<br>

You dragged me all over the city,<br>

up the river and down to the sea.<br>

Now I look at myself in the mirror<br>

and some old woman looks back at me.<br>

You didn't want love, Johnny, you wanted money.<br>

I gave you all I had. You wanted more.<br>

Oh, don't look at me that way.<br>

I'm only trying to talk to you.<br>

Wipe that grin off your face, Johnny.<br>

>Surabaya Johnny. Is it really the end?<br>

SurabayaJohnny. Will the pain never mend?<br>

Surabaya Johnny. How I burn at your touch.<br>

You got no heart, Johnny, but oh, I love you so much.<br>

<br>

When we met I forgot to ask you<br>

why they called you that funny name,<br>

but in every hotel on the seacoast<br>

I found out, and I loved you all the same.<br>

I'm tired. I'm worn out.<br>

The sea's pounding in my ears.<br>

And I reach out my arms to hold you.<br>

You're not here and who even cares?<br>

You got no heart, Johnny. You're just no good.<br>

You going now? Oh, tell me why.<br>

I love you after all, Johnny, like that very first day.<br>

Don't laugh at me no more, Johnny.<br>

<br>

Surabaya Johnny. Is it really the end?<br>

SurabayaJohnny. Will the hurt ever mend?<br>

Surabaya Johnny. Oh, I burn at your touch.<br>

You got no heart, Johnny, but oh, I love you,<br>

I love you, I love you so much.<br>
