Written by Susanna Hoffs, David Baerwald, Jim Keltner, Greg Leisz, Larry Klein & David Kitay

Produced by David Baerwald, David Kitay & Susanna Hoffs

Released on 'Susanna Hoffs' (1996)

She's a cross between

Emma Peel

Gwyneth Paltrow

And Kathy Lee

She's got a boyfriend

He's twenty-three

She won't give him up

I can't set him free.

And still he means the world to me

If only I could make him see

If only he'd be good to me

But he's the king of tragedy, oh oh.

He calls me on the phone

He needs another loan

Gonna lose his home

He lays it all on me

And I feel so guilty

Wanna tell him no

But he always tricks me

Into letting go.

And still he means the world to me

If only I could make him see

If only he'd be good to me

But he's the king of tragedy, oh oh.

Oh, come back to me, yea yea.

We used to call you

Johnny Fun

Isn't that ironic

After all you've done

But the door's still open

The way is clear

When you get it together

I'll be here.

And still he means the world to me

If only I could make him see

If only he'd be good to me

But he's the king of tragedy, oh oh.

You and me that's all I ever wanted

Can't you see you're all I ever wanted

You and me it's all I ever wanted

Can't you see you're all I ever needed, oh oh.
