Supremes - Treat Me Nice John Henry lyrics

rate me

(William "Smokey" Robinson) <br />

<br />

John Henry was born<br />

At the crack of dawn<br />

His mama named Henry<br />

And a daddy named John<br />

His daddy predicted that<br />

While John was growin'<br />

He would be wild<br />

Like the wind that was blowin'<br />

<br />

That morn he was born<br />

Was a hurricane<br />

Thunder and lightning<br />

And pouring rain<br />

He's exciting to see<br />

Like the storm he was born in<br />

He took my heart and soul<br />

Without a warning<br />

<br />

So treat me nice<br />

Don't be mean, John Henry<br />

Make the girl's faces green with envy<br />

And I'm gonna give you<br />

All the love that's in me<br />

John Henry, John Henry<br />

<br />

Oh, rock of a man<br />

You're thrillin' me<br />

I'll take your hand<br />

So willingly<br />

Ready to go<br />

Wherever you lead me<br />

Long as I know<br />

You'll always need me<br />

<br />

Oh, Johnny, you are my hero<br />

Without you my life is a zero<br />

So whether I'm happy or in misery<br />

In your arms is where I have to be now<br />

<br />

So treat me nice<br />

Don't be mean, John Henry<br />

Make the girl's faces green with envy<br />

And I'm gonna give you<br />

All the love that's in me<br />

John Henry, John Henry<br />

<br />

Henry, you know<br />

You've got me goin'<br />

My love for you<br />

Keeps growing and a growing<br />

<br />

Treat me nice<br />

Don't be mean, John Henry<br />

Make the girl's faces green with envy<br />

And I'm gonna give you<br />

All the love that's in me<br />

John Henry, John Henry<br />

<br />

Treat me nice<br />

Don't be mean, John Henry
